Payment Or Two Behind And Your Lender
November 20th, 2008Payment Or Two Behind And Your Lender
If you are only a payment or two behind and your lender has not hired an attorney to begin foreclosure proceedings you may be able to negotiate a work out agreement yourself. If you are successful then you have saved yourself some funds that can be used to get caught up on your mortgage.
Just remember, don’t waste a lot of time on this. Time is not on your side right now. If you don’t have something worked out within 1-2 weeks, then it’s obvious that your lender is not serious about working things out with you directly.
When you get to that point you will be better served by professional representation that can use the formal business and legal protocols to your advantage. We deliver the critical information and professional representation that you need to get the best possible work out agreement with your lender.
Anywhere from 2 days to several months. This depends on the stage of foreclosure you are in and your financial position. Typically it takes several weeks to complete a work out agreement and stop foreclosure proceedings.
Up until the foreclosure sale occurs there is still hope. If a sale date for your house has been set you need to act fast. We have stopped sales set for the next day but this is very risky and some lenders will not agree to it. You’re best option is to take action immediately to stop foreclosure before it goes too far.
