The Obama foreclosure rescue strategy makes sure that there are more new loans available in the housing market, recommends the approval of more loan refinancing applications, and stimulates an increase in the number of permitted loan modifications by banks and lenders.  The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act, which was signed into law by the President himself in May 2009, supports the foreclosure initiative.  This legislation was designed to make some adjustments to the Hope for Homeowners Act that was then given the goal of aiding borrowers who had outstanding mortgage loans with values that were more than the selling prices of their homes.

We recently filed Chapter 13 to avoid foreclosure, but now I am thinking about letting the house go and changing to Chapter 7? We can’t afford the house mtgs, taxes and insurance on our reduced salary. Question – in a chapter 7 can the creditors (?) come in and take stuff from your house?
