Tips To Stop Bank Foreclosure Process
Losing one’s home is becoming all too familiar lately. Not talking with the mortgage holder right from the git go will definitely start the mortgage foreclosure process. Not communicating with your other creditors will also start a series of efforts to capture the money you owe them.
Some of your credit may be secured, such as your car or house and some unsecured. Also known as signature loans or credit cards. They pretty much the same, except on secured loans the creditor can collect the collateral. Have you ever had a car repo’ed?
The very first thing you should be doing if it appears your income is going to change or your ability to pay your bills is going to change or has changed is to contact your creditors in writing and explain to them exactly what is going on. Just the fact though. Now whining or crying or blaming. Just the facts and what you expect to be able to do about it and when.
Crying is not good. Have plan made up to present to them and confident in your proposal and ability to recover or to maintain whatever it is your are presenting.
Talking with the mortgage holder about what you can do will get you big mileage when it comes to slowing down the home foreclosure process.
You do not want to discuss your plans over the phone. Keep all communication in writing and keep copies for future reference if needed. People often misunderstand what is said in phone conversations. Simply tell them you will gladly answer any questions they have. Just send you a latter and you will answer them that way. Be polite but firm.
One of the first thing you will notice is how popular you are if you do not contact the creditor right from the start. You will probably find your phone ringing off the hook in a very short while.
They will be wanting to ask questions like, “Why is your payment is late?”, “When can we expect payment?” “How long until you will send in your payment?”. It is pretty frightening and intimidating to say the least, not to mention embarrassing..
My advice when this starts to happen is to be respectful and remember this if you can remember nothing else. He who asks the questions is in charge. So, never answer a question of the kind described. They almost always come back to haunt you. Answer a question with a question? Take charge of the phone call. Remember, you will be wanting to correspond in writing, not talking on the phone. Inform them of such and hang up.
If you are in danger or think you are in danger of your home going into foreclosure you need to get help with foreclosure to protect your most valuable asset.
There is a thing called Fair Debt Collection Act. Get it and read it. But you should not have a problem with bill collectors per se if you have been communicating with the creditors and keeping your end of any agreements made. It is only after they give up on you they will turn the account over to collection agencies.
However, in regards to a mortgage you will probably be dealing directly with the mortgage holder, not some third party flunky. To stop the mortgage foreclosure process you will be dealing with a horse of a different color. This should be your first and primary concern as it is your home, unless you have already made the decision to let the home go to foreclosure.
