    Ride through

    Can a mortgage company take the house if we do not reaffirm the loan, but continue with payments, insurance, taxes and maintenance? (I know we need to NEVER be late.)

    Also- my taxes and insurance are in the loan payment...so if I pay BofA will they continue to pay those payments?

    Does it work the same with the car? Pay and keep, no new contract? No official obligation?

    House and car payments are current.

    Yes, I did a "ride-through" on both my home and cars...no obligation. In fact, I just "turned in my car" to the dealer...

      Hello Maine,

      A ride through is where you do not sign a contract with the mortgage/finance company and keep making payments.

      They do not have to do this, some companies do and some don't.
      Find out what your company does.

      They can take your house/car unless a specific state law protects you.
      (federal bankruptcy law does not)
      Check your state consumer protection laws.

      These are highly variable, do some research specific to your company and your state.

      Be careful,

      Tom in Colo
