How can My family Avoid foreclosure?

Question

My credit score has only gone up to 665 in almost a year and im having difficulty making the current morgage. Advice any1? programs to help? government help? any help?

Answer 1

Well, with a 665, and depending on how many mortgage lates you have had recently, we may be able to help. If for some reason, we can't refinance you, I can assist you in locating a private investor who will pay you cash to save your credit and walk away from the home. If you are interested, IM or E-mail me with any further questions you might have. My company works with over 40 Nationwide Lenders, and 100's of private investors. Plus, we can shop around for you without ruining your score. If not, my advice to you would be to locate someone to either help you with the mortgage payments or assume the loan. I would totally advise AGAINST filing Bankruptcy. It willl haunt you for years. Leave that as a last ditch effort, but ACT NOW whatever you decide! And, I also agree with Randall saying to maintain an open line of communication with your creditors. It truly does help!

Answer 2

The bottom line is if you can't afford the payments now a refinance may not help you. Unless you have a really high interest rate your payments are not going to go down that much if at all... you will also lose a lot of potential equity.

We always council our clients to take a hard look at their budget and not with rose colored glasses. You need to decide, if you can't afford the house you need to sell it before if wrecks your credit and you can't buy another house. If you let it foreclosure you may be renting for many years.

Please look at this article we have posted on our blog. Depending on your beliefs it may help you focus on what is important:

I not sure of the current laws. But, DO NOT listen to stupid people. Talk to a lawyer many will give you a free first consultation, call around and know the truth.
IF, you can not manage the best thing will be to claim Bankruptcy.
There many ways to do this and that is why you should talk with a lawyer to know your best options.
Chapter 7 you usually give everything back and have not further obligation for the debt.
Chapter 13 you pay a set amount to your debt and a Trustee act in your behalf to disperse the money. Also, Chapter 13 protect your credit (OR it did before the laws changed). The reason why is you do pay your debt!!!! You will actually receive offers of credit during the Bankruptcy as banks know you can not file again for 5-7 years, I not remember. But, they see you as a good credit risk.

BUT, be well informed before you do this and use it as a last resort!!!!!! TALK to a lawyer to know your options. MANY will do a first consult for free!!!!!!!
DO NOT listen to stupid people and DO NOT listen to me. Talk to someone that will really know ALL your options! OK?
I just try to point you where you really need to go. A good lawyer may help a lot better. And those Debt consolidation places, who you think paying for them? But, this an opinion and you ask!

Answer 4

Whatever you do, don't take out a loan as this will further entrench you in your current bottomless pit of borrowed money. Instead, ask help from relatives and friends, borrowing a little bit from all of them. Avoid borrowing any more money or adding to your credit. If all else fails, try to petition with the people and companies you owe. If they have any good will, they will most likely assist you by extending your deadlines.

Answer 5

check the current interest rate offered and your loans duration.

It may be possible to refinance with a lower interest and/or a longer term .

Talk to your mortgage holder before you default on the loan .

If real estate prices are up , you may be able to sell it , pay the mortgage and have enough left for a cheaper house .

Answer 7

The first rule is......to ALWAYS maintain a line of communication with your creditors. They want to know that you are aware of the situation, and are as concerned and as willing to act, as they are.

If you can show your creditors that you are taking concrete steps to deal with your situation, they are much less likely to be nervous and do something rash, such as begin the foreclosure process.

It worked for me

Answer 8

have you try talking it with lender who have the loan? do you have any cash flow built up in your house? if so, pull the cash out (refinance) and paid off your other debts and don't make any more than you can handle. also put some of the money away for hard times.

Answer 9

what can you do for extra money each month? What can you eliminate each month (useless things like going out to eat, cable, high speed internet).

Look to your budget before you look to the government for hand outs.

If there was some magical government handout, then there wouldnt be foreclosures.
