You should not be liable for this as it should fall into your bankruptcy unless you have signed a form from your mortgage company to say you will accept liability?

Can you speak to the OR still? I would have thought the shortfall was included. x

I'm pretty sure that the shortfall should be included as BOL says.

Some people do - if you're not too savvy then you might think this is what you have to do.

Thanks for replies....So are you saying this might fall into the BR then, even though we are discharged. H4U

If the mortgage existed at the time of the bankrutpcy, then the shortfall ought to form a bankruptcy debt.
