If your house is being foreclosed on, you need to file a chapter 13, with a plan for paying the secured debt arrears, including the mortgage(s) and have the income left over every month to pay the plan (and the trustee's percentage).

You declare when your debts become too overwhelming to ever pay off. But you must qualify first. The qualifications vary according to the chapter of bankruptcy you are filing under but major aspects are the monetary amount of your debt and your annual income.

The first step in understanding financial distress is realizing that you are in financial trouble and need help. Contact a bankruptcy attorney in your area for a free initial consultation. First, bankruptcy can stop creditor harassment. Many creditors will call you all day, every day, any time of day. Bankruptcy provides a fresh financial start by making it illegal for creditors to contact you. This can be your first sigh of relief. Even once you have retained a bankruptcy attorney, you can tell creditors who contact you that you are in the process of filing bankruptcy, and they should direct the calls to your attorney's office.

You applied for bankruptcy in December 2007 you have recently applied for a loan and it seems to have been accepted Is it illegal for you to carry on with the application?

If your bankrupcy isn't complete, it would likely be a violation of the terms of your bankrupcy with the court. The court could then choose to deny your claim of bankrupcy. If your bankrupcy filing is totally complete, depending on the type of loan it is not unusual (except now with todays credit crisis) to be approved for a loan simply because the company approving the loan knows that you can not file for bankrupcy again for a relatively long period of time.
