i was able to keep my house from forclosure by suntrust doing a loss mitigation for my first mortgage when i filed a chapter 13 last year. now, i owe a 2cd mortgage to ditech and they have charged it off, but i still want to pay it and keep making payments. is this is possible and do they work with you to lower rates in order to pay off the loan and not keep the bad credit or have huge fees for not paying at all ? or i dont pay until the end of my chapter 13, (it is a 3 year started last july) and pay nothing, what will happen then to my second mortgage? i am having problems with understanding exactly what i need to do and the last person i got at ditech just was no help. i dont want to leave it alone, i am sure they will really escalate the loan value of 98grand. any suggestions?
Welcome Missk,
As far as I understand, even if you are given a charge-off, you can continue to pay the loan. Whether the lender will charge a lower rate is something that you need to ask them. I don't think they'll do because if they had to lower the rate, they wouldn't have charged off the debt.
If it's chapter 13 that you've filed, then i think you should pay. But have you included the second mortgage in chapter 13? I don't think you have or else you must have started paying it by now.

Hi MissK.
Welcome to the forum.
I really appreciate that you are willing to pay the 2nd mortgage that the lender has charged off. It will certainly a good effect on your credit if you can pay if off. You just need to contact the lender directly and negotiate with him about the loan.
If you don't pay it off now then the lender can even sell it to the collection agency and I don't think that is good for anyone to face the collection agencies. So I would suggest better pay it off ASAP if you can.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Best of luck,
Larry
