how can I keep my house and file bankruptcy
I am 10 months delinquent on my mortgage along with other debts. I have no equity in my home but no second mortgage either. If I file a chapter 7 is there any way to keep my home? Obviously the mortgage company has little faith in me.

In Chap. 7, you would have to bring the mortgage current to keep the house. In Chap. 13, you could pay off the arrearage over time (3-5 years). See an experienced bankruptcy lawyer in your community.

You will have to make up the delinquent payments in Chapter 7. However, if you file a Chapter 13 (wage earner) you can propose a plan to keep the house by starting and continuing payments plus proposing that the delinquent payments be repaid over time.
