i recently recieved a chapter 7 bk discharge in michigan. after the bankruptcy, my first lender foreclosed and the house sold for substantially less then what i owed. i was informed by my bankruptcy attorney that i could redeem the property for the sale ammount of the sheriff sale. my question is that if i redeem my house, can the second mortgage then come after me and try to take the house. i was under the impression that since they were the junior lien they would have had to seek remedy before the actual sale and that said sale removed their lien. having said that, since the debt i owed them was discharged can i assume that they have no recourse if i do indeed redeem my house for next to nothing?
Welcome Guest,
As far as I know, as the second loan was discharged in your bankruptcy filing, the second lender will not be able to come after you to recover the dues if you redeem the property. Nevertheless, you can speak to your bankruptcy attorney in this regard and take his opinion in this matter.
