What is the difference between a Mortgage Trustee
and a Bankruptcy Trustee?

Huge difference. 

The ‘Mortgage Trustee’ (or more accurately, the “Trustee of your Deed of Trust”) is the person or company who is doing the foreclosure proceeding on your house.

The Bankruptcy Trustee is a man or woman who is charged by the Bankruptcy Court to look for non-exempt assets and if there are any in your case, to sell the assets to pay your creditors (in most cases, all of your assets are exempt; in other words you get to keep everything).  They also investigate your financial affairs to make sure that you are telling the truth in your filings.
