What You Need To Stop Mortgage Foreclosure

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

In order to stop mortgage foreclosure on your house, you will have to find some way to work with your bank. You have a much better chance of being able to work with them if you can prove financial hardship. Financial hardship is when you cannot pay your mortgage because of an unexpected situation.

Some typical examples that many banks will accept as financial hardship are the loss of your job, if you suddenly became disabled or divorce. Your mortgage company might be able to offer you a loan modification or a forbearance (a temporary stop in payments). Either of these programs or actually any program that your bank can offer you will help you to stop mortgage foreclosure.

If you do apply for a financial hardship with your bank you will need to be prepared to provide your bank with the following:

  • Current income and expenses sheet
  • Proof of current income
  • Tax returns for the past few years
  • A hardship letter (In this letter you will need to explain what your financial hardship is.)

You will need to be willing to work with your bank and provide them everything that they need if you want to stop mortgage foreclosure.

How do you help someone who is going through foreclosure?

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

I'm trying to help someone, find out if anyone knows of any tips or solutions with dealing with foreclosures. Not familiar with this area and trying to see what other options are there if there are any. If this is your field of expertise please, educate us. THANKS.

What you need to do is talk to the lender. Lenders are making arraignments to help borrowers. Two programs that you want to inquire about Forbearance and loan modification. I have done both for various clients.

Basically they will tack on what the borrower owes to the loan amount and make the borrower current.

Find Your Solution to Stop House Foreclosure

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

There are many different options open to you in order to stop house foreclosure. One important thing to keep in mind is that what works for someone else and their situation may not work for you. Every foreclosure situation is unique and there is no cookie-cutter approach that works for everyone. Some things that you need to consider as you are looking for the solution that will help you stop house foreclosure.

Do you want to keep your house or do you just want to get rid of it. The solutions are very different for these two groups. If you want to keep it, you need to talk to your bank about a workout arrangement. If you want to get rid of your house, you may need to talk to your bank about a short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

Is the financial situation that got you into foreclosure trouble to begin with temporary or permanent? You probably will not be able to stop house foreclosure and stay in the house if your financial situation has permanently changed. Your will probably need to look at selling your house if this is the case. If your financial situation is temporary, your bank may be able to give you a forbearance or do some other sort of workout arrangement with you.

Need help on a good way to prevent foreclosure.?

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

I have a friend who has lived in her current home for over four years and was sold a Power Option loan, but was told it was an Interest Only loan. They are pretty much backwords on their mortgage and in major credit card/ car loan debt. I just found out that they will be losing their home to foreclosure at the end of the month, and they will file bankruptcy.

Is there a way we can help to keep their home from foreclosing? Any help, or tips is wonderful!

Bankruptsy should be a last resort. There are many ways to stall foreclosures or even have them thrown out. For example…Simply filing the intent of BK will stall the foreclosure for at least 30-60 days if not more. There are many other things that can be done as well…to many to list here.

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

If your parents come to you for help because their house is about to go to foreclosure, what would you do if you don't have the money to pay for their mortgage or buy their house?
I dont know the bank who owns the mortgage. Why do you ask?
Patriotic mom - What is your email address so that as soon as I get the info, I can email you directly? thanks
American servicing company is the lender. I heard a lot of complains about them, have u?

Can you tell me who holds the mortgage? There are loss mitigators at a lot of the large banks.

Edit: As a Realtor, I often work with pre-foreclosure and short sale properties and have acquired some names and phone numbers that could be helpful to you. Ask Mom and Dad and get back to me.

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Foreclosure varies from homeowner to homeowner and the best way to stop mortgage foreclosure on your home may not be the best way for someone else to stop foreclosure on their home. Every situation is unique and you need to find the best solution for you.

Working with your lender is a good way to figure out the best way for you to stop mortgage foreclosure. They can tell you what they are looking for from you. There may be some negotiation room with them and you need to make sure that you can afford the solution that they present to you. Depending on your financial situation, a forbearance or a loan modification might work for you. Your bank can tell you what they are able to do for you based on your current financial situation.

If your bank is not willing to work with you to stop mortgage foreclosure, it might be time to take your situation to a foreclosure attorney or other foreclosure professional. Know exactly what your financial situation is before contacting anyone so that you can give them all of the information they need to know. This will help them determine more quickly whether or not they are able to help you.
