What happens to an adjustable rate mortgage (due to reset Dec 09) after bankruptcy is filed?


During the bankruptcy you will have to ‘re-affirm’ any debt to an asset you want to keep. What that means is, if you want to keep the house you have to re-promise to pay it off under the terms of the original note – the ARM that will reset.

If you do not agree, the bank will cancel your mortgage and take the house.

After bankruptcy, you will have no chance of refinancing for years.

good luck!

ps – unless you really have to, declaring bankruptcy won’t help your mortgage situation at all.

  1. BK doesn’t change your mortgage at all.

    I have been doing this lately to make extra money. All you do is answer yes/no survey questions online. Each survey is only 3 minutes long. This company pays you for your thoughts. It’s that simple. A check is sent to your house. Great way for teens and moms to get spending money. No scam here! I have 18 checks to prove it! Free! No cost to you.

    Depends on the wording of the bankruptcy decree. It could be adjusted, it could stay the same, it could be fore closed on. Check your paper work and see what it says.

    If this is your primary residence, most likely it wasn’t affected at all by the bankruptcy and you will have to pay the readjustment.

  4. a Bankruptcy has no effect on it. It will adjust according to your paperwork. However it will kill your ability to refinance into a different mortgage.
