The filing of a bankruptcy creates an automatic stay which would prevent the foreclosure sale taking place. A notice of the bankruptcy should be provided to the state court clerk to stop the foreclosure sale.

What you need to do is speak with a bankruptcy attorney in your area. The mortgage company telling you to file a chapter 13 is not actual legal advice, and you need your own adviser on bankruptcy.
