Welcome connie_well.
As you have filed Bankruptcy chapter7, all your unsecured debts will be released. So you need not to pay the outstanding balance of the mortgage in this case. But if the mortgage company gets a judgment against you then you are liable to pay it.

Hi connie_well,
Welcome to the forums.
As far as I understand, until you get a bankruptcy discharge, the lender can't foreclose as because bankruptcy puts an automatic stop to foreclosure. So, the deficiency payment doesn't come in till you get the discharge. By the way, do you know when you're getting discharged from bankruptcy?
