Stop Foreclosure In Nevada

 Nevada again is on top of the foreclosure statistics, and I really don't feel the necessity of citing any sources. It is an open secret for quite sometime. Foreclosure is on the rise, and the tide has become uncontrollable especially in Nevada even after some phony good news. Even though I had written extensively in my other blog under "loan modification attorney of Nevada, I still I like to mention briefly here the tips to stop the foreclosure:

1. Please contact your lenders/servicers immediately. Don't wait for the notices to start appearing and posting in local newspapers. Contact them urgently. It is important. Most of the foreclosures are happening because of no or lack of communications.

2. Open a dialog and tell them your situation. Write down all the facts of your situation. Send them letter, and keep copies for your record.

3. Don't be frustrated with the process. It is obviously time consuming. There are lots of people ahead of you and banks are swamped with similar requests.

4. Most of the folks (newly hired) by your lenders and servicers are new folks, and learning the job as they go. Please be patient with them as they have no experiece, a customer service kind of education (meaning high school) and are not paid much ($10 an hour or so).

5. Make record of every phone calls, write down the name, phone extension etc of the person you spoke.

6. No need to lose your temper or frustration on any of the customer or loss mitigation representative. They have not caused this situation.

7. Send them whatever they want, resend the same things again. Don't make a big deal about their demands. They are swamped. Their fax machines are overworked and may be out of ink, or papers, or other technical issues. Remember they are human beings as well.

8.Try to call the rep by their first name more often than one time during conversation. Try to build a bond between you and him/herself. Yelling, screaming would be totally unproductive. No need to tell them the horror stories, they know enough already. Try to be brief, and not very legalistic. You are not an attorney, you are consumer. Ask yourself one question, why I am behind? How many months I am behind? Why did not I pay them? Afterall, you signed the contract as well. Please stop having over expectations. No one is deliberatly harming you. Accept the fact that you could be wrong also, and you had made mistakes as well. Now, let us sit back and read this wonderful article.

9. Once you have been denied, explore other options.

10. If nothing works, walk out graciously from your home without destroying anything. Maybe try to get a cash deal for "keys". Treat it as white elephant and balance your budget.

Stop Foreclosure Canada

Question: If my home goes into foreclosure how long appox. will it take for the bank to sell it?

I live in BC Canada and there is a big chance that my house might go into foreclosure very soon if some money doesnt come through quick. I was wondering if anyone knows how long a foreclosure typically takes? Also if I paid back all the arears would I be able to stop the foreclosure even if it was already in progress?

Answer: That depends on a few things. If your bank has alot of foreclosures, then they might want to unload them as soon as possible. They may hang onto it or if they are partnered with any local real estate agencies, they may sell it to them. As far as you paying it back, you would have to talk to them and see what you can work out. Understand that if they do give you a sort of second chance to pay this, and your funding doesn't come through, they probably won't let you pay it once the house does go into foreclosure.

Really, you should be talking to your mortgage company about all this instead of getting people's personal opinions. Our opinion isn't going to help save your home. As a previous banker, I can tell you that lenders don't tend to look to favorably on people that have had a previous foreclosure for future lending, so if another house is in your future, or you would like it to be, I would do pretty much anything I could to avoid this happening!

Stop Foreclosure Michigan

Question: How long after you stop making your house payments until you get kicked out?

A friend of mine lives in Michigan and told me they stopped making thier house payments 4 months ago and the bank hasn't even started the foreclosure. They also tell me that once they get the notice they have 6-8 months before they actually have to vacate the house. Is that true? Can they really live there for free for a year?

Answer: Every situation is different, & banks only foreclose if there's no other way to work something out. There is federal legislation that was just signed into law yesterday that is supposed to help those in foreclosure. Maybe that was what the bank was waiting for.

I guessing too that any equity that your friend has built up, is going to be also lost. Additionally, your credit rating will be in the toilet for years.
