Generally, yes you may if your loan is modified in mediation; but you should consult an attorney about your particular situation. In many instances the bank will approve a loan modification even though you have already discharged your debts, including your mortgage note, in a bankruptcy; however, as will be discussed next, you will nevertheless be liable for that note if you sign a reaffirmation agreement with the bank during your Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
Summary
While a homeowner generally can proceed to mediation after discharging the mortgage note in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, there are exceptions to this rule, and one should consult with a bankruptcy attorney.
