If the loan was used to purchase the borrower's personal residence
it is nonrecourse. If loan was not used to purchase the personal
residence it is recourse. Does not matter if it is first, second,
third etc. - what matters is whether it was used to purchase the
personal residence. This is based on CA law only. The one action
rule of Civil Procedure Code Section 726(a) prohibits lenders who have
foreclosed through nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings in CA from then
pursuing any deficiency balance on that note secured by the deed of
trust. This would only be relevant when the home loan was recourse,
i.e. not used to purchase the personal residence. Remember junior
trust deeds were not the ones pursuing the nonjudidical foreclosure
and if not paid through the foreclosure sale can pursue the borrower
for the deficiency balance due, again only if it was recourse loan.
I have not researched whether under California law a loan
modification of a purchase money deed of trust turns that loan into a
nonpurchase money obligation and accordingly recourse. From a
strictly logical analysis I would say no, because it is the same loan,
just the repayment terms have changed.
Once the borrower files for bankruptcy relief and is granted a
discharge, the analysis changes by operation of the federal bankruptcy
code. Unless a debt is formally reaffirmed following the procedures
set forth in Section 524(c) and(d), the debt is discharged. The
liability is discharged, even though the lien securing the property
still exists. THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT WHATSOEVER FOR THE DEBTOR TO
SURRENDER THEIR HOME TO OBTAIN A DISCHARGE OF THE LIABILITY ON ANY
DEEDS OF TRUST SECURING THE PROPERTY. Debtor pays postpetition: they
can keep the home. Debtor does not pay: lender ultimately will
foreclose and then cannot pursue the debtor for any deficiency.
Postpetition home loan modification is no different than any other
creditor trying to craft a reaffirmation agreement that does meet the
requirements set forth in the bankruptcy code in Section 524(c) and
(d). Any such contracts are not enforceable for money against the
discharged debtor and if the lender sought money from a discharged
debtor then such efforts would constitute a violation of the discharge
injunction. The debt to that lender was discharged period!
Modification of payment terms of the discharged debt do not make it an
enforceable contract, because Section 524(c) and (d) protect
unsophisticated bankruptcy debtors from creditors' crafty attempts to
skirt the effect of the bankruptcy discharge. If a mortgage lender
could convince a discharged debtor to "modify" a loan in some way
postdishcharge in order to make the mortgage magically legally
enforceable for any unpaid balance, then so could every other
creditor, secured or unsecured. Think of the Social Policy issue
involved. Why would there be so many hoops to jump through to ensure
the debtor is protected from the creditors and that reaffirmation is
in the debtor's best interests if the lender just simply has to wait
until the discharged is entered in order to enter into a "modification
agreement" that contracts around the bankruptcy discharge injunction.
Admittedly, Congress, in its infinite lack of wisdom enacted many
irrational sections of the code. Fortunately it did not screw up the
effect of the discharge.
Refinances with a new note and deed of trust are a different story.
Loan modification is not a refinance. Loan modification is what the
name describes a modification of an existing debt.

No there is no postpetition indebtedness created with a loan
modification because the debt was already discharged. Of course if
there was a postpetition refinance with new note and deed of trust
that would be a different story. Similarly, if the debtor failed to
notice the 2nd trust deed lender of the bankruptcy and additionally
obtained the modification through fraud, there may be at least some
personal liability. However, loan modification is not a refinance but
a modification to the payment terms of the debt that was already
discharged. The second trust deed, presuming it was not purchase
money, would need to be reaffirmed prior to discharge pursuant to
Section 524(c) & (d) for there to be any personal liability remaining
on the loan. If the second trust deed was then modified postpetition,
personal liability would remain if it was not paid.
Even if the Court would entertain reaffirming a second trust deed
secured by real property at all, there would need to be some
significant benefit to the debtor to outweigh the loss of the
discharge on that second. If lenders will modify post discharge any
way, it would be beyond foolish to reaffirm. Regardless of
postpetition modification prospects, I think it is usually unwise to
reaffirm real property.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Mortgage Deficiency Balance After Loanmod
Debtor owns home with 1st and 2nd trust deeds. Files a Ch.7 bk which is
discharged and subsequently signs loanmod on 2nd TD. Debtor defaults
thereafter and losses home to 1st TD at foreclosure sale. Is he on the hook
for the 2nd TD's deficiency because of the loansmod?

Sure the 2nd mortgage is discharged and so is the first. It is
irrelevant whether the debtor is in possession. The lien of course
still exists, but their is no recorse against the debtor other than
foreclosure.

Ty, if property was surrendered, absent loan mods, we can all agree
there is
no liability on the second post-discharge, normally.
Christine, wouldn't the timing of the execution of the contract be a
factor?
These facts have a post-filing promise to pay a debt that otherwise
would
have been discharged.
John, I think I'm saying the same thing as you.
Mark, at the time of the loanmod signing, I'm not sure the second
was
discharged since Chapter 7 doesn't discharge 2nds where debtor still
has
possession (assuming a fact, or else why would he do the loanmod)?
Summing up:
Filing--> Discharge--> Surrender: NO LIABILITY
LOANMOD--> Filing--> Discharge--> Surrender: NO LIABILITY
Filing--> LOANMOD--> Discharge--> Surrender: LIABILITY
Filing--> Discharge--> LOANMOD--> Surrender: LIABILITY
The latter is Ty's case.
Of course, I could be wrong.

Erm. . . okay what do I know. . . . I know not much. . . But is the Loan
Modification basically a Post-Petition Contract which incorporates by
reference terms of a contract pre-petition. Isn't it then new debt. No
Reaffirmation is required to make the debtor liable for the debt?
