Foreclosure Options

You have options. First you can quickly put together the funds to pay the arrearages. A second option is loan modification. Many were caught unawares by the adjustable interest provisions of mortgages and saw their payments escalate beyond what they can pay. Compounding the matter was the drop in home values leaving properties worth less than the outstanding loans. Where you can demonstrate an ability to make consistent payments, we can negotiate with the lender for a new more reasonable loan agreement.

The third option is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Under this procedure, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court puts an immediate hold on the foreclosure action. You are given an opportunity to put together a plan to pay all your debts over a 3 to 5 year period. You may spread your home loan arrearages over the length of the payment period. Meanwhile you may keep your home and other property so long as you make the payments on the plan. If you have the means to make the plan payments, we can assist you in filing your bankruptcy petition and guide you through the bankruptcy process.
