Generally, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) account does not maintain an escrow account for the regular payment of taxes or insurance. In the event you do not pay your homeowner's insurance premium (or flood insurance if you are in a required flood zone) or property taxes, we will advance the funds to protect our secured interest in the property. The full advance will be billed in the next monthly payment due.

We follow the current guidelines from the Consumer Data Industry Association (CDIA) for all bankruptcy filings. The status of the loan at the time of reporting will be furnished monthly along with the current chapter filed. Typically, a bankruptcy filing can reflect on a credit report for 7 to 10 years.
 

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) cannot be placed into a Revocable Living Trust because it is an open-ended mortgage. Only mortgages that do not have the capability of obtaining cash advances may qualify.

Per CDIA requirements, there will be no credit reporting upon discharge of a chapter 7 bankruptcy if the debt is not reaffirmed. This is because the discharge removes the personal liability for the underlying debt amount. For secured loans discharged through chapter 12 or 13 bankruptcy cases, credit reporting stops if the collateral was surrendered or the lien was avoided.
