Bankruptcy and a Second Mortgage

A San Francisco bankruptcy attorney talks about bankruptcy and a second mortgage...

Can bankruptcy assist with my second mortgage?

Yes. In a chapter 13 bankruptcy, if the current market value of your home is less than the primary mortgage amount, you can remove the second mortgage and treat it as unsecured debt. This means that you will only be responsible for making your primary mortgage payments each month. Depending on your income, there might be some repayment to unsecured creditors, but upon completion of your chapter 13 plan, the second mortgage will no longer be attached to your home.
