6 HOMEOWNERS FACING FORECLOSURE More than 60% of homeowners delinquent in their mortgage payments are not aware that help is out there and DO NOTHING!

Avoid a high interest rate loan as a solution Avoid offers to resolve your foreclosure for a high fee Look out for Lease-backs Watch out for inflated appraisals on re-financing Avoid offers that suggest you make your mortgage payment to someone other than the mortgage company Always consult an attorney before signing a Power of Attorney (POA) over to anyone
31 CONTACTING LENDER TIPS The willingness of a Lender to work with you partly depends on your good history with them Get full names, phone numbers, city and department name of all persons you speak with regarding your mortgage Be prepared to document all conversations with Lender Give the Lender all the Documentation they request Do Not go looking for an argument or fight they are in control of the situation and outcomes Do Not withhold any information Be Realistic Once you have an ACTION PLAN you MUST DO EXACTLY WHAT YOU COMMIT TO DO No matter what!
32 BORROWER S RIGHTS May remain in the home through the confirmation of the sale or even longer according to state law Before the sale date the borrower has a right to enter an appearance and contest the foreclosure A borrower can defend the foreclosure because there were problems with the procedure (notice not served correctly) or because there is a substantive defense to the mortgage Substantive defenses include the fact that the borrower is current or that the lender violated state or federal law in making the loan.
