Chapter 7 Can I still save home? - Loan Modification Forum

luvprec · 02-13-2009, 11:21 AM

Florida Got my chapter 7 discharge 9/08. Home has not foreclosed. Countrywide said I am still protected from bankruptcy laws. They are wating on validation. It has been 18 months. I moved out and now I am moving back. I think I will still have at least 6 months to save before the home would go to auction. I am now working and want to know is it to late to save my home? I owed $355K with a 1,2 &3 mortgage. The 1 &2 is with Countrywide. The 3rd is with JP Morgan. The home is only worth about $175K. The Bank ask if I wanted to work something out but I didn't say yes because I don't know my rights. I did surrender home in the discharge. But can I still save it? PLease reply.

we are in a similar situation. our chapter 7 was discharged in Aug 08. I have spoken with CW and my attorney. apparently, you CAN retain your home if CW will work with you. they tell me that they are willing to work with us but I haven't seen anything from them recently. we have had some correspondence that says we'll be contact by a negotiator to work out new terms but that hasn't happened yet. give your attorney a call and give him/her a heads up. a letter from your attorney to CW is a probably a good idea as well. good luck! I'll let you know how it works out with us.

buzzpat, thanks for the hope. I will say a prayer for you as well. I will update you with my progress. Have a nice day.

Ok, CW said they will also have a negotiator contact me. I called my attorney she said she is not my attorney anymore since I received my discharge I should contact a Real Estate Attorney. Is she correct?
