Immediately upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition, the <a href=\"\/new-jersey-mortgage-foreclosure-lawyer\/\">mortgage foreclosure<\/a> action must stop. It&#8217;s the law. The debtor (person filing for bankruptcy) is required to pay to a trustee (bankruptcy administrator), the total amount of the mortgage arrears (amount behind), including all costs and fees, as of the time of the filing. The arrears are generally paid to the trustee over the life of the bankruptcy case, which is generally 36 to 60 months. The monthly payment to the trustee is referred to as a trustee or plan payment. The first trustee payment is due on the first of the month, after the month of the filing.<\/p>\n<p>New Jersey residents can obtain answers to questions regarding <a href=\"\/new-jersey-bankruptcy-foreclosure-lawyers\/\">foreclosure resolution and bankruptcy laws<\/a> by visiting https:\/\/www.bankruptcylawyer-nj.com<\/p>\n<p>The trustee payment is generally more than the amount required to pay only the mortgage company&#8217;s arrears, as other creditors may be required payment. There is only one monthly trustee payment, no matter the number of creditors that will be paid through the plan. In the event that a number of creditors are to be paid though the plan, the trustee will disburse the appropriate funds to each creditor, in compliance with the bankruptcy laws. A limited explanation as to how creditors, other than the mortgage company, are entitled to payment, through the bankruptcy plan, is explained below.<\/p>\n<p>Each type of debt has a specific classification. The three classifications of debt are priority, secured, and unsecured. Debt classified as priority, generally, must be paid, through the trustee payment, which is added to the mortgage arrears. An example of priority debt is certain tax liability and child support arrears. Debt classified as secured must be paid either through the bankruptcy plan and\/or directly to the creditor. An example of secured debt is a mortgage and auto financing. Any amount paid to a secured creditor through the bankruptcy plan, is added to the mortgage arrears that are due to the mortgage company.<\/p>\n<p>Debt classified as unsecured is debt that is owed to a creditor which does not maintain an interest in property, such as credit card debt or health care provider debt. The debtor may be required to pay none, some, or all of the unsecured debt through the bankruptcy plan, based on the following factors: personal income; household income; expenses; and, asset value. Any portion of the unsecured debt that must be paid, is required to be paid through the trustee payment, which is added to the mortgage arrears. If the debtor is required to pay only a portion of the unsecured debt, the unsecured creditors are paid on a pro rata basis. Any amount that the debtor is not required to pay is eliminated, without payment. A debtor must have the ability, either individually or with the assistance of another, to make the required trustee payments.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to paying the monthly trustee payment, the debtor must pay their regular monthly mortgage payment on a timely basis. The first mortgage payment is due on the first day that the mortgage payment normally comes due after the filing. In other words, if a mortgage payment is due on the first of the month and an individual files on the 15th of the prior month, the first mortgage payment is due on the first of the month, after the month of the filing.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankruptcylawyer-nj.com\">bankruptcy laws in New Jersey<\/a>, visit https:\/\/www.bankruptcylawyer-nj.com Robert Manchel is a New Jersey, Board Certified Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney, whose practice is limited to foreclosure resolution and bankruptcy law.
