Hi,
The 2-year ARM on my home mortgage (two mortgages) expires August 2008 (home purchased August 2006). However, I filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2007 (discharged in July 2007). Will I be able to refinance this year? I’ve heard that Ch. 7’s are different from Ch. 13’s in terms of the refinancing waiting time.
I just received a letter of foreclosure on my house. I’m not going to be able to come up with the amount of money needed in the time allotted to stop it. So I’m considering filing for bankruptcy. If I do this, will they take my house anyway? I understand there are several different types of bankruptcy. I’m not trying to get out of my debt completely *unless that’s an option* so I don’t know if this effects whether we could keep our house or not. I need to know because if they are going to take it anyway, then I’d need to decide whether it’s better to have a foreclosure or bankruptcy on my credit.
I live in Texas. We have only owned this house since last September.
I want to buy a new car but the everyday news talks a lot about the bankruptcy of some auto makers. I just wounder if I should wait till the end of the year or this kind of news have no much affect?
I know that a few years back, a new law came in effect that if you declare bankruptcy, you still have to pay back. Is this true? If so, how long do I have to pay back? How does it work?
