Stop Foreclosure through Bankruptcy in South Jersey

If you are drowning in debt, you may soon find yourself facing foreclosure as the bank looks to take your home. The good news is that there are a variety of methods for potentially stopping foreclosure on your home. Some of the best options to prevent foreclosure in New Jersey include:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: By filing for Chapter 7, you can potentially erase your debts, including credit card debt and medical bills. The discharging of your debts may provide you with the ability to put income toward meeting mortgage obligations, enabling you to keep your home. As long as you are current on your mortgage payments and do not have a lot of equity in your house, Chapter 7 bankruptcy could be a viable alternative to home foreclosure. In Chapter 7, foreclosure proceedings and sheriff sale proceedings have to stop immediately.
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also known as reorganization bankruptcy, you should be able to set up a payment plan and make payments on your mortgage arrears over a certain period of time (typically three to five years). This may be the best option for you if you are not current on your mortgage and are still trying to stave off foreclosure. As with Chapter 7, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing will bring a halt to sheriff sale proceedings.
• Debt Consolidation: By consolidating all of your debt into one single loan payment, you may find it much easier to manage your bills, including mortgage payments, going forward. Moreover, when you consolidate your debt, you can often obtain a lower interest rate.
• Loan Modification: Another strong option for avoiding foreclosure is to seek loan modification. An experienced attorney can help you restructure your home loan and get a reduction in required monthly payments.
