Navigating the Foreclosure Process

  1. Contact your lender Immediately! If you have you received a “notice of default,” you need to move FAST! The first and best thing is to contact your lender immediately! Don’t wait! More likely than not, your lender will work with you. Contrary to popular belief, banks DO NOT want to take your home, they just want to get paid. It’s a drain on them, so they will work with you!
  2. Loan Modification. Ask your lender if they will modify your loan. While this is common, you’ll typically have to show a financial hardship. But we have seen lenders extend the loan terms, reduce interest rates, and other ways to get the payment reduced to make it possible for you to keep your home. Other ways a lender might work with you is through Forbearance, Payment Deferral, or set up a repayment plan for any past due amounts.
  3. Talk to an attorney. A good bankruptcy attorney can help legally postpone the process. It may not stop it, but it can give you additional time to get other things sorted out.
