All,

First and foremost thank you to the loan safe forum, moderators, and many great members!

I have been an avid follower of the forum but have not yet been an active poster. I have gotten so much great information, Thanks again!

Long story short, we first attended a NACA meeting in December of 08 and had all our information ready and submitted to Countrywide/BofA in March. We have done all that was asked of us and always waited the proper amount of time that NACA asked us to before contacting them again for more information. After no further action on our account other than "submitted to servicer for restructure" since March we attended the save the dream event in Chicago.
2 weeks later and no more info. we emailed Barbara at BofA. SHortly thereafter we were contacted by someone from BofA and then a day later by David L.! We were so excited!

David L. has told us that there is a proposal from Fannie Mae and Naca should have it and we need to conbtact them for more information. Well yesterday we tried but NACA said they see nothing from BofA!!!! How frustrating to know there is an offer but not to know what it is!

Anyhow to get to my question, during our hardship we have fallen behind on credit cards and have recieved a court order to garnish my wages. This garnishment is a little over $900 a month and will kill us so we are forced to file a bankruptcy to stop the garnishment.

The garnishment begins this Friday and I am so afraid that if we file the pending modification proposal will no longer be valid and we will be back at square one, I am dying over this!!!!!

Can someone please tell me if we file a bankruptcy before we accept the offer or even before the 3 month trial period is over will our modification be revoked?????

Sorry for such a long post, I wish everyone well and look forward to any advice at all.

Thank You.
