Can I get rid of my second mortgage in bankruptcy?

During this down economy, the real estate values have declined drastically. This has caused many to find themselves in an upside- down house. This means that a home’s value is less than the mortgage owed. Unfortunately, this is causing some to walk away from their home without looking for possible solutions to their financial situation. We at The Carroll Law Firm believe that we are the perfect lawyers to help you explore all of your options.

We can help you examine both Chapter 7 bankruptcy which can give you a fresh start and Chapter 13 bankruptcy where you can establish a repayment plan for less than you owe. With Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it is possible to cancel a second mortgage completely. With our firm’s assistance, we may be able to help you obtain loan modification for second mortgages or help in negotiating interest rates.

Considering Bankruptcy?

The dreaded “b” word is tossed around today like a baseball on the practice field. But we’re not talking baseball are we? We’re trying to avoid the topic of bankruptcy, a legal proceeding where a person can find a fresh financial start. Unfortunately it often comes with the social stigma that the person considering bankruptcy has obviously done something terribly wrong to find themselves in this position of being unable to pay their bills.

If this is you, you probably have a number of questions concerning bankruptcy and its ramifications. What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies? Can you file the legal papers yourself? What will happen to your credit? These are just a few of the questions you may be worrying about. Today there is a great deal of misinformation out in the public regarding bankruptcy. Why would we trust a friend or neighbor’s opinion or even hearsay without finding the real answers from a reliable source?
