Foreclosure! Ten Ways to Save Your Home
Get Help! Often it's Free
Alarmed by rapidly rising foreclosure rates, several
private and government agencies have established a wide variety of
free and
low cost programs designed to help you keep your home.
If you're having a problem making payments you may
benefit from credit counseling or a debt administration program that
includes housing counseling.
Your lender may have such a program, or you can
see if your local housing authority or extension service offers debt
counseling or foreclosure avoidance services. In recent months several
county governments have instituted programs designed to help homeowners in
danger of losing their homes. Often these programs are sponsored by the
local sheriff's office.
Depending on your circumstances a
debt management
program may also be a good option. The U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) maintains a list of credit counseling and debt
management agencies approved to work with HUD loans, and they may also be
able to help with other lenders.
While a credit counseling agency may be able to
negotiate an agreement with your lender, keep in mind that you may be able
to negotiate the same agreement, without having to pay the agency's fees.
Always try to talk with your lender on your own, and if you can't reach a
workable solution, seek outside help.
In any case, get
help quickly to take advantage of all possible remedies.
