If bankruptcy didn't reaffirm my home, can I still walk away anytime?

Giovanni Orantes
Answered by attorney Giovanni Orantes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Orantes Law Firm
That is correct. If you did not reaffirm the debt secured by your house, you can walk away (and the bank cannot call a default and try to evict you as long as you are current on your house). This often leads the banks holding the note against a house not to report the monthly payments you are making it seems to be a strategy to force you to reaffirm, but Courts have ruled that they are not wrong in not reporting the payments.

Is there any way around this other than foreclosure?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Susan G. Taylor
You need to be careful. At this point you are not liable for any deficiency once sold. You might need the help of a consumer law attorney, because the mortgagee's only recourse is against the property, and it appears they are affecting you personally that is, their reporting status is preventing you from purchasing another property.
