Foreclosure Fraud

Stop Foreclosure Using These Methods

There are quite a few methods that a homeowner can use to stop foreclosure on their home. I thought I would list them here with some brief explanations.

1. The Law- This is the #1 tool any homeowner can use to fight back against their lender or servicer. Unfortunately it is the most over looked and under utilized weapon by homeowners in avoiding foreclosure. Any foreclosure prevention service company (whether it be for profit or non-profit) that is not utilizing the all important legal layer in the homeowner loss mitigation process is actually maybe causing more harm than good to the homeowner. Their attempts to be of service to a struggling borrower, may actually be causing a disservice because they may be a victim and they may need a lawyer.

The facts are that there was a lot of fraud and predatory lending perpetuated in the lending industry over the last 5 plus years and now we are seeing the results of that reckless and unlawful behavior with our current foreclosure crisis. You may be the victim of fraud or predatory lending and in some cases, both. A good mortgage law attorney can assist you and identify if you are in fact a victim of predatory lending. The Truth in Lending Act and RESPA federal laws and various state laws can serve as protection and as a tool to stop foreclosure.

You may need a bankruptcy attorney or an accountant.

Your lender has an attorney. Wouldn’t it be wise to hire your own and fight fire with fire?

2. Loan Workout- A loan workout is a broad term used in the loss mitigation arena. It is used when you negotiate with your lender any kind of plan that will benefit both you and the lender when you are delinquent or in default. The term can be used cover the different “workout” options you may have such as a loan modification, repayment plan, short sale, forbearance plan etc.

3. Loan Modification- This term has been getting a lot of attention lately and rightfully so. With millions of homeowners stuck in toxic adjustable rate mortgages and no ways to refinance out of them, loan modifications may be the only way to assist struggling borrowers. This term is used when your lender modifies your current mortgage (same loan you have, only changes are made to the note) in order to work with you and make your mortgage more affordable. A modification to your rate, balance of loan, delinquent fees owed, term of loan etc. can be made at the “discretion” of your lender. In the past this was only used when a borrower was delinquent but now we will see it being used before someone is delinquent. This will be the hottest term and the best way to help people avoid foreclosure.
