Unsecured Debt Consolidation Loans

l2dothink asked:

I admit it, I majorly fail at finances. I tried riding the 0% interest rate game by transferring balances around. Many years later (now), here’s my horrible circumstance:

Primary mortgage owned: $200k
HELOC balance: $80k
credit card debt: $60k

Possible house sale value in today’s market: about $220k ($280k is owed “secured” debt on the home .. .primary+heloc)

So, my credit score is actually decent because I make my payments every month and on time (for years). I’ve just recently lost my job, so I’m looking at the bad reality now.

There’s no chance for a Chapter 13 since I do NOT currently have employment.

I own 2 vehicles outright (actually, I just transferred the debt about 1 year ago to the HELOC for better interest rate payments on this debt).

Each car’s resale values are probably $12-14k each.

What would happen if I filed for Chapter 7? Forced to sell the home, cars, etc? I’d want to keep at least 1 car (for my next job soon hopefully) and want to save the home and will have to borrow from relatives or something until I get back on my feet with a new decent job.

I understand the unsecured CC debt would go away I guess.. but what happens to the house/cars?

Thanks in advance!

Once the bankruptcy was written then there were two separate line items one for secured and one for unsecured. The final statement said that the secured had been paid in full. The lawyer said that the unsecured should be discharged. But the mortgage company says that it don’t work like that. They say we still owe the unsecured amount. Who is right.
