REV: 06-11-25 LF <br />In the event the borrower reinstates the loan, Consultant will remit to the City payments <br />received from the borrower. For those loans that are reinstated by the borrower, <br />Consultant will resume normal servicing functions. <br />Bankruptcy Administration Services <br />1. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: <br />a. Upon receipt of notification from a court of law, debtor (borrower), or the City, of a <br />Chapter 7 bankruptcy for a debtor serviced by Consultant, Consultant will modify <br />the account in preparation for monitoring of payments. Additionally, a Reaffirmation <br />Agreement will be generated and forwarded to the borrower’s attorney (debtor’s <br />counsel) for signature, and to the appropriate court upon receipt of the executed <br />document. This fully enforceable agreement, if executed, will retain the lien as <br />secured and will keep the lien from being discharged as part of the Chapter 7 <br />discharge. If the borrower has no legal counsel and has filed their bankruptcy <br />petition “pro se”, (on their own behalf) or with the assistance of a licensed <br />paralegal, Consultant can communicate directly with the borrower. <br />b. Upon default of borrower’s remittance of payments during the bankruptcy, <br />Consultant will notify the borrower’s (debtor’s) counsel and Chapter 7 Trustee <br />advising of the default, but if filed pro se, then the debtor would be notified directly. <br />c. Should the Chapter 7 Trustee determine that assets are available for distribution <br />to creditors, Consultant will file a Proof of Claim on behalf of the City. <br />2. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: <br />a. Upon receipt of notification from a court of law, debtor (borrower), or the City, of a <br />Chapter 13 bankruptcy for a debtor serviced by Consultant, Consultant will notify <br />the City its intention to file a Proof of Claim as well as supporting bankruptcy <br />documentation, and will file with the appropriate court. Upon receipt of a returned <br />filed Proof of Claim from the court, Consultant will forward a copy of same to the <br />City and will begin monitoring post and pre-petition payments to borrower’s loan <br />account. <br />b. Upon default of borrower in the remittance of post-petition payments, Consultant <br />will notify the borrower’s (debtor’s) counsel of the default, instructing that further <br />default will result in the filing of a Motion for Relief. If the borrower has no legal <br />counsel and has filed their bankruptcy petition “pro se” (on their own behalf) or with <br />the assistance of a licensed paralegal, Consultant can communicate directly with <br />the borrower. In addition, notification of the default will be forwarded to the <br />Trustee’s office. Should there be a continued default in post-petition payments, <br />and at the instruction of the City, Consultant will file the Motion for Relief using <br />legal counsel approved by the City. Once authorized by the court, and as directed <br />by the City, Consultant may then begin foreclosure proceedings. <br />ATTY/AGR.2025.144/AmeriNational Community Services, LLC d/b/a AmeriNat (Page 22 of 31)
