I am going to keep a house if file for a bankruptcy. <br /> On the other hand I do have an equity loan (secured by my house) from the lener other than my mortgage lender. <br /> My question is - can I claim equity loan ($100,000) as unsecured - and so dischargable debt as there is no equity in my home and appraisal only showing about 250,000 value , but mortgage is 500,000. -
