You may be able to obtain a loan modification to resolve the missed mortgage payments.  A modification may also reduce your monthly payment so you can afford the mortgage payment moving forward.

Will Bankruptcy Stop a Foreclosure?

Filing bankruptcy is another way to either postpone or cancel the foreclosure sale. If you file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the sale is typically cancelled and you may be granted up to five years to pay back what you owe and keep your home in the process. Under a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the foreclosure action is typically postponed, giving you additional time to organize yourself to move.
