mortgage
If I claimed bankruptcy I understand I would only be “in it” for 9 mths (credit affected for 7) thinking cp may be a better option but for future loans mortgages etc etc am I technically “in” cp until my payments are finished?

Yes, you are “in” your proposal until it has been paid in full. While you are in the proposal your credit rating will be a 7 – if you file for bankruptcy you will be rated a 9 (1 is the best…).
If your main concern is yoru ability to borrow again in the future then bankruptcy might make more sense than a proposal – it literaly depends on your situation. This is somehting you want to discuss with your trustee in detail BEFORE you file. They will be able to tell you which solution makes the most financial sense for you.
