What will happen to the monthly mortgage payments?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
No, the mortgage company cannot continue to report negative information to your credit reports after you file bankruptcy.

What do I do with earnings during Bankruptcy process?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
This question revolves around what I call the "two entity" theory. Your bankruptcy estate on the moment you file is comprised of everything you own and everything you owe. It is a separate and distinct entity which has a life of its own. What comes into your possession after that is called post petition and it is separate and distinct from the entity that filed for bankruptcy. So, what you have been told is correct. You can read about chapter 7 and what you need to know in a pamphlet at my website. You may want to do an internet search for the "means test calculator" and take it to find out if you can qualify to file a chapter 7. You also need to consult with an approved consumer credit counselling agency prior to filing and get a certificate from them.

How soon after we walk away from a mortgage that was not reaffirmed in Chapter 7 can we qualify for another mortgage?

I believe that the guideline period for many lenders would be four years. The foreclosure will be on your credit report for seven years. My sense is that a foreclosure two years after your Chapter 7 would be looked at negatively by many credit grantors (more so than a foreclosure coupled with a bankruptcy). You should meet with a money management professional to determine a long-term strategy before you embark on the strategy that you currently have.
