Legal Question in Bankruptcy in District of Columbia

Re: Foreclosure and if bankruptsy

Yes. You need to file before the foreclosure sale. Most likely, a Chapter 13 will be necessary, entailing a repayment plan to pay debts in full or in part over time. You will have to make all mortgage payments from the petition date forwards, and cure the arrearage through the plan. We handle these cases regularly, so please call or email if we can be of assistance.

Re: Foreclosure and if bankruptsy

Yes, filing a chapter 13 will stop a foreclosure. The petition must be filed before before the sale date. The court will give you up to 60 months to pay what you are behind on your house back.
