Foreclosure Warnings
·
There are, unfortunately, plenty of people and companies who
try to take advantage of homeowners desperate to
avoid foreclosure, and
there are a wide variety of foreclosure-avoidance scams, so be very careful,
especially if you're contacted by a company. Some of these scammers scan
foreclosure lists looking for victims, and they may offer quick fixes such
as "refinancing" schemes that actually trick you into signing your house
over to the scammer. Always check out a company thoroughly before entrusting
them with your money, and beware high fees, high interest rates, and
too-good-to-be-true offers. Make sure you thoroughly understand any contract
before you sign it. You may want to enlist the aid of an attorney before
signing any agreement.

want to help you. It's Free & Confidential.
· Remember that the threatened foreclosure is only a symptom -- unless you solve the underlying problem, you'll soon be facing this or some other symptom, again.
·
If you bought too much house, (much more than 40% of your
post-tax income for the mortgage(s), utilities, taxes and upkeep), strongly
consider that you may need to sell this house, then rent for a while or buy
a more affordable residence. HomeGain can help you find a competent
agent that understands your need for a quick sale by getting Realtors

someone willing to be tough with you to make sure you stick to it. Online Personal Budgeting Systems
