The reason that you're not receiving any warnings or letters is that it's prohibited for your creditors to contact you about your discharged debts. Your mortgage company already has a write off on your mortgage, they're not interested in getting socked with a penalty from the bankruptcy court for harassing you. It's company policy that some lenders won't even respond to your questions? There is no law that forces the lender to foreclose on your property. And quite often they never do. Particularly when the house is underwater. If they foreclosure and don't sell it, then they are liable for taxes, maintaining the property, lawsuits and other issues with vacant houses. If they wait 8 years (in Ohio, different in other states), the house is yours free and clear - provided you pay the taxes. Of course, they could come back and foreclose at any time for those 8 years. Look at it this way, paying the taxes is really cheap rent and you have a chance of getting the house without paying the mortgage. A pretty good deal all around.
