Hi All
Been reading posts for a few weeks now, and this forum is so very helpful, calmed me down many times, thank you
We will be filing chapter 13 (possibly 7) in March. I just wanted to ask what you all think about reaffirming the mortgage. I am so nervous and confused about this. We have two small kids, and I'm worried we will end up with no place to live.
Does reaffirming, or not, make a difference in chapter 13 vs chapter 7? If we don't reaffirm, is the house still ours as long as we pay? If we miss a payment will we get thrown out? If we are current on the payments, can the bank still sell the house from under us? If we don't reaffirm can we sell it after our bankruptcy is discharged?
We owe $175k on the home and the market value is about $160k.
Our mortgage payment is what we would pay for renting an apartment in our area.
I know some of the questions sound silly, but I would really appreciate the answers, freaking out here.
Thanks
