Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Kansas

I cannot tell you exactly why your lender will not allow you to make partial payments against a past due debt. But, some take the position that allowing partial payments would prevent them from foreclosing if you don't get caught up soon. But, if you send your current payments, and a separate check designated as partial Payment of the past due amount, they may accept it anyway, v or put you at the back of the list of loans to be foreclosed. If they don't accept it. Keep paying the Current payments and save the Extra until you have enough to pay the past due payments.

This is a general response to your general question. You should consult directly with a civil practice attorney, in your area, before deciding what to do. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation. Take your loan documents and letters, want get advice specific to your particular loan.

Good luck

Your situation is an unfortunately common one. When it comes to past due mortgage payments, banks will frequently refuse to accept payment unless the arrearage is paid in full. This is particularly frustrating because it can make you feel like you are on a financial treadmill, almost to the end of the track but the finish line is always out of reach.

In any case, the important thing to understand is that you almost certainly still have some options to get back on track, whether this is working out a non-modification agreement with the bank, loan modification, Chapter 13 bankruptcy, or some other option. However, generally speaking, the longer this problem goes on, the less options you will have. So you need to seek help immediately.
