If I file bankruptcy, will it stop the foreclosure? We have been trying to sell the house since Jan. We have sent in two short sale offers and both were denied. The house is now in the foreclosure status and I am afraid we are running out of time. Also, if I file bankruptcy, will it affect my ex if he is still on the deed? If so…can he file a quick claim to release his name from it? Will the bankruptcy completely stop the foreclosure…or will it continue with my ex? Is there even an option where I can let the house go, have a clean slate and continue to start over once I file bankruptcy. Will they still go after my ex or just take the house?

You may be able to delay by asking for them to produce the note. But the only way to stop a foreclosure is to bring the note current or to work out something with your mortgage lender.
Here’s a link on how to request the lender to produce the note: http://www.consumerwarningnetwork.com/20…

My house was schedule for foreclosure sell on April 18, 2008. I had 10 days (28 April) to file bankruptcy if I wanted to keep my house. The attorney I talked to wanted too much money to help me. What can I do? I am considering “Pro Bono” Services for assistance. I only receive military retirement pay as income.
