Good ways to prevent foreclosure from happening to you
March 27, 2009 | 
Author If you don’t know what the foreclosure process entails, it can be rather frightening. If you are aware of the steps leading up to foreclosure, you can do something to prevent it from happening. That’s the reason you need to find the time and energy to study the mortgage foreclosure process.
The second you miss that first mortgage payment, the steps on the way to foreclosure are launched. After a couple of weeks, you will get a notice from the lender announcing to you that you’ve missed a payment. The lender will leave you alone if you pay the past due bill. But if you don’t pay the past due payment, the mortgage company will start calling. They will formally declare you are in default. If you’re experiencing these steps right now, it is urgent you contact your lender.
Mortgage loan modification may still be an alternative if you talk with your lender in time. Going through this process can be one of the best ways to avoid mortgage foreclosure. Most lenders will delay the foreclosure until three months of past due payments before they start foreclosure. It can take a little more time, but if you keep missing payments you will get a foreclosure notice eventually.
When that foreclosure notice hits your welcome mat, you’re in trouble. There will be a court hearing about your case, but you will lose because you’re offending the terms of your loan contract. The bank acquires the right to sell your house through an auction when the court hearing is finished. When the auction process begins, you only have a couple of days to leave your home. If you do not leave, you will be forced out by the law.
Meet with your lender before things get to this point. Oftentimes you have the chance to use mortgage loan modification and rescue your home and family from foreclosure. Study the mortgage loan modification procedures and make sure you fill out all the paperwork to the best of your abilities.

Excellent Notes to save us from foreclosure, thanks for sharing
Thank you for the info. I’m desperately trying to prevent the bank from foreclosing on me. Looks like I might end up living homeless though.
I think it is key for the homeowner to immediately contact their lender when they are anticipating or already delinquent as you mentioned. Many homeowners are afraid to contact their bank and ask for help, but it is the right thing to do and it can be the difference between foreclosure and a loan modification!
Its rather scary that the first time you miss a payment the steps are automatically launched! Glad I read youre blog!
Great Advice. Unfortunately a lot of people are experiencing this unfortunately situation today.
You make great points. I also think that it communication is important between the lender and home owner if the home owner feels they are in danger of losing their home.
Did you know that Homeowners are illegally being foreclosed on especially in Trustee States?
If you are a homeowner with a Notice of Sale, 3 Day Notice to Vacate, or received the Unlawful Detainer and/or a realtor that is trying to help facilitate a short sale or a loan modification I can help you delay that sale/auction date. I can help you with the eviction delay.
It is well known that banks are illegally foreclosing on homeowners in Trustee States such as California, Arizona, and Nevada since the foreclosure process is lightly monitored by government agencies.
In Judicial Foreclosure states, a judge reviews the legality of the foreclosure proceedings to ensure the homeowner is being protected against greedy lenders and yet still the lenders are not properly following the foreclosure laws correctly (see this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/31/nyregion/31judge.html?_r=2).
In Trustee States, lenders employ a “third party” trustee company to replace the legal function of a judge and orchestrate the foreclosure process. If banks are not legally foreclosing when they know a judge reviews the case what do you think they are doing when they only have to go through a trustee that they pay? And what is more interesting, the trustee company is liable for the foreclosure proceedings but who is going after the trustee companies to review the legality of these foreclosure packages? You guess it! Yes, No one is..!
Filing bankruptcy is not the best option for you. It sure helps delaying your foreclosure for 30-45 days but once your bank files a motion to lift the stay they can proceed with the debt collection therefore foreclosing on your home. You will end up losing your home and with a bankruptcy on your credit history.
I hope this helps!

When the lender files a Notice of Default, your options are limited. That is why it is better for you to call your lender before falling behind on your payments, because lenders are often reluctant to work out repayment schedules after foreclosure proceedings have been commenced.
By law, foreclosure of your home will be advertised to the public. There are many people who offer to help with foreclosure in order to help people out. You should reject any offer to sell your home with an option to buy it back. You should also avoid high-rate loans that are offered as a way out of foreclosure.
Once you get behind on your payments, your options are limited. Loan modification through Making Home Affordable only applies to those homeowners who are current on their payments.
Great article. It’s an unfortunate thing that so many people are experiencing this. Out in California, I’ve been in some neighborhoods that are extremely beautiful but are deadly silent. Then you see all the “foreclosed”,”bank owned”,and “for sale” signs. In time it will get better, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Foreclosure is a scary thing. It’s sad that so many people are having trouble paying their bills in a country that is the “wealthiest” in the world.
Why can’t our government figure out something that will actually keep people in their houses?
You can always file for a BK. That will help slow the process of foreclosure.
Before you get behnd or as soon as you realize you are going to, call your Realtor (whoever sold you the home. If you did not like your agent or they are no longer in business then get on google and search for Realtor in (your town). Seek professional help as soon as you suspect you may have problems.
Definitely call your lender prior to being late. They will most likely send you an application for a loan mod.
This is a good advice but there are other advices as well. You can always ask for another loan from your parents, friends, boss or someone else. I would suggest not to buy a house right now, if you do not have enough income to handle it.
It seems like many are having trouble getting mortgage loan modifications as the lenders just don’t seem to be to willing at the moment. The credit market is still very tight.
Splendid facts. As always, an open line of communication between the lender and the home owner is imperative in order to somehow re-negotiate a deal and avoid foreclosure as much as possible.
