Foreclosure- is something that can happen when you get behind on your Mortgage Loan. Your lender won't automatically put you into a program to bring your loan up-to-date. You must put the plan into motion and provide the lender with the documentation they require to analyze your financial situation to stop the Foreclosure action. Although lenders do not want to foreclose if it can be avoided, they do want to make sure you can follow-through on any promises you make to bring your account current.

Mediation- is the key to Stopping the Foreclosure. As we stated before, the Mortgage Company does not want to Foreclose and is usually willing to agree to terms to Stop Foreclosure. These terms are negotiable and it is to your advantage to develop a plan of action before contacting them. This plan needs to be thoroughly analyzed before presenting it to them as it becomes very difficult to adjust it. We have extensive experience in this area and we can develop a winning strategy or plan for you to Stop the Foreclosure that is proven successful.

Proven Plan for Stopping Foreclosure

1. You need to come up with some amount of money to apply to the deficiency. We typically refer to this as the “Contribution Figure”. This will usually be somewhere between 35% - 50% of the total amount that is required to bring the loan completely current. With the clients we help, we typically see this number between 25%-30%. The Mortgage Companies always require this money as a down payment for a number of reasons:

• To bring the loan current quicker
• They need to use this as a penalty to getting behind. If they didn’t they would have a lot more people missing payments without legitimate reasons.

2. You need to illustrate your current financial situation to them to show that you can afford the Monthly payments. This is very tricky… you need to be accurate as they will not accept changes once it is submitted and if it is not what they want to see, stopping the Foreclosure will be very difficult. We develop a Personal Financial Portfolio for each of our clients. This shows you income vs your expenses in a form that is easy to understand and highlights your ability to repay the loan.

3. The last step is to develop a letter that explains why you fell behind. This letter is referred to as the “Hardship Letter” This letter must be honest and appeal to them to show that you want to Stop the Foreclosure and deserve another chance. We roll all of these items into what we call a “Work-out Package”. This package is then presented to the Mortgage Company in a format they can easily understand which allows them to make a decision readily.
