Bayonne, NJ asked in Bankruptcy and Consumer Law for New Jersey

Q: My loan was soldl to another lender Carrington mortgage from Chase. IM currently in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.

Chase denied a loan modification. My attorney appealed but the Bankruptcy judge agreed to suspend the loan modification. The loan was sold. If the new lender denies a loan mod will the foreclosure process start all over again? I have been making regular mortgage payments with Chase since the bankruptcy began. My lawyer cannot be reached for comment. This is why I'm reaching out for advice. Thank you kindly I respect your time.

A: You obviously need to retain an experienced NJ Bankruptcy attorney who knows and thoroughly understands how the Bankruptcy Court's mortgage modification program works. This is not something that a bargain basement attorney can represent you in. You need an attorney who does this on a regular and ongoing basis. Someone who knows what the lenders and Judges want, in the way the case is presented.
