Can Bankruptcy Stop Foreclosure in Colorado?
If your home lender has sent you a notice of foreclosure, filing bankruptcy may give you the chance to keep your home. Filing may slow down foreclosure proceedings and give you an opportunity to negotiate with your lender. Even more, Chapter 13 bankruptcy lets you get back on track by making late payments over time.
It’s important to know, however, that bankruptcy may only stop the inevitable foreclosure from happening. Chapter 7 bankruptcy does not allow you to get caught up on a mortgage, so if you can’t bring your mortgage current, it’s very likely that your lender will ask the Colorado bankruptcy court to let its foreclosure proceed. Unless you have a defense to your default, the court will allow the foreclosure to move forward.
