Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Massachusetts
I filed ch.7 bankruptcy and my debts were discharged Jan 2006. My 1st & 2nd mortgage on my home were never reaffirmed. I have made payments on time. My fico score is now 710. I want to sell my house but it is now worth less than I owe on mortgages. Can I give up possesion of the home and walk away with out any further negative effects on my credit ?

Assuming everything was done correctly, you can walk away without worrying about any deficiency claim against you, but the default(s) will hurt your credit.
