No reason to sign, unless loan modification part of package.

Subject: [cdcbaa] Reaffirmation agreement on a house
My debtors have a $400,000 mortgage on a house that is under water. The mortgage is current. Citibank wants them to reaffirm. I haven't gotten a reaffirmation agreement on houses yet; is there any reason not to sign, if the debtors intend to stay and continue to keep their mortgage current?

One lender (CIT Bank) stated it won't consider loan modifications
unless the loan is reaffirmed.
One other commentator said that lenders will not report the Debtor's
timely payments on the home loan to the credit bureaus without
reaffirmation.
I researched this in California, and the reaffirmation doesn't appear
to give the lender any rights it didn't already have---if it's a FIRST
TD, or a PURCHASE MONEY TD. I would never advise a Debtor to
reaffirm a hard money TD, such as a HELOC.

BAPCPA did not change the law prohibiting the enforcement of ipso facto
clauses in real property loans. The changes were for personal property.
See 521(a)(6) and 362(h). Thus it is still keep and pay for real property.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

No need to reaffirm. Lender can't foreclose unless they default. Ipso
facto clauses are inapplicable to RP.

I don't sign them. What is lender going to do? Are clients trying for
mortgage modification?
