Top 3 Reason NOT to Reaffirm a Mortgage in Bankruptcy

1. Truth is, if the lender is not going to report to the credit bureau, the debt to income ration should be minimized by not reaffirming the mortgage.

2. Borrower‘s struggling through a Chapter 13 have a hard time making mortgage payments on time; thus the likely hood of negative information is high if reaffirmed.  

3. If not reported, the borrower can name thepayment here or there, catch up payment, and pay whatever late fees accrue; all without risking a negative trade line on a credit report.
