Can I lower the principle amount on my first mortgage by filing chapter 13 bankruptcy?

David Michael Benson
Answered by attorney David Michael Benson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Benson Law Firm
Most, if not all, lenders I deal with will not allow you to lower the principal on any debt and a bankruptcy court does not have the authority to order a reduction in the first mortgage on your residence. You can, however, strip the second mortgage in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I would suggest you not wait until the mortgage holder gets a judgment against you.

Would my boyfriend be liable for the debt of my credit cards if I file bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Seth David Schraier
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Seth D. Schraier, P.C.
In most cases, if the only connection that your boyfriend has to the account is the ability to sign for them, but the entire account is in your name, then any bankruptcy filing would not affect him in any way. He may only be affected if he used the cards for expenses you did not authorize and you seek to recover the amount spent from him. But in regards to a Bankruptcy filing, if there is no legal or financial relationship between you and your boyfriend, then he will not be impacted by any Bankruptcy filing on your part.
