An Eighth Common Columbus Short Sale Myth: I Can Erase Any Deficiency On My Upside Down Home By Simply Declaring Bankruptcy

Columbus OH – A lot of people incorrectly think that bankruptcy is a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card. Yes, bankruptcy does not help a lot of people get back on their feet.

However, it is not a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card, despite what many people think. Let me explain why not.

Not everyone qualifies for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy laws were dramatically changed in 2005. Now you have to qualify for bankruptcy.

If you don't qualify, then the bankruptcy judge will throw your case out. Your creditors will still be able to pursue you. They may be able to levy your bank account, garnish your wages, or take your tax return.

What can you do to avoid this? First, hire a highly qualified short sale realtor. Look for someone with lots of experience who will negotiate hard with the bank.

You want them to convince the bank to release you from the upside down mortgage debt. If they are unable to convince the bank to release you from the debt, then you need to consult with a good bankruptcy attorney.

Just like not all short sale realtors are created equal; not all bankruptcy attorneys are the same either. Find one that is highly experienced. They will explain the intricacies of bankruptcy law to you.

They will know whether or not you can qualify for bankruptcy. They may even know how to get you to qualify when other attorneys would say you aren't eligible for bankruptcy. Thinking about a short sale?

Important Notice

Rick and Robin Lemmons, Coldwell Banker King Thompson, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorsed by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
