Stripping a Second Mortgage

When you owe money on a second mortgage, it is considered unsecured debt if your property is valued no greater than your first mortgage. Through Chapter 13, this type of debt (unsecured) may be discharged. The lender cannot collect on this second mortgage because there is no backing of property for the mortgage. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court has jurisdiction to determine that a second mortgage on a home or other type of property is unsecured debt.
