Can I keep my house if I file bankruptcy?

In a Chapter 7, if you are current on the mortgage payment you will continue making your payments as usual. If you are behind on your mortgage payments, filing Chapter 13 will allow you to keep your home. You will resume making the regular payment and you will be able to catch up the mortgage payments by placing the past due amount in your Chapter 13 payment plan.
