Should I wait to file Bankruptcy to see
if my Loan Modification is Accepted?


Maybe. Loan modifications can be a very good thing - when they actually happen. Which is close to never.

I can't count the number of clients who have told me about their loan modification materials being accepted by the servicer, then a letter telling them that all of the materials were accounted for, then a period of no activity, then a claim from the servicer that either a) required materials were missing or b) that the servicer had no record of the materials ever being sent by the client. I hear this SEVERAL times a week.

Certainly, if you like the terms of the modification agreement, you should try to modify your loan. However, do not count on the modification as your only solution; to say that you would be putting all your eggs in one basket would be a huge understatement.
