Some wonderful sites to assist you in beginning to realize
what your rights in a foreclosure are:
1. The Federal Housing Administration site. This is a good
source with a ton of data about the latest laws that have been
put in force to assist individuals in retaining their houses and
preventing foreclosure. This website can help you more easily
understand your rights concerning whether or not you can meet
the requirements for assistance under any of the recent laws
that have been put in place.
2. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
site. This is another place where you will find what the
current laws are that govern foreclosure. Another wonderful
feature of this website is the tool it has to help you find
a HUD-approved housing counselor in your area. These
counselors can help you become knowledgeable about what your
rights in a foreclosure are and can come up with options for
helping you keep your home.
3. Your state, county and city internet sites. There are
particular laws and timeframes that regulate foreclosure in
every state. The timeframes particularly can deviate widely
from state to state so it is critical to understand what
those timeframes are for your state. Some states or local
governments have their own plans to assist you in knowing
about foreclosure and to assist you in preventing it. Since
some of your rights in a foreclosure are governed by what
the regulations are for your state, it is essential that you
explore your local government sites and genuinely have
knowledge about what laws regulate foreclosure in your
state.
4. This may come as a shock but your mortgage company is
also a wonderful resource for you. The people who work in
their foreclosure departments have a lot of knowledge about
how foreclosure works and more specifically about how
foreclosure works with your lender. This information is
extremely valuable when you are looking for ways to save
your home. They can tell you what your mortgage company will
require from you, when they will need it and any
restrictions you need to be aware of.
