Facing Foreclosure: Steps to Take Now
Experiencing a foreclosure is not the end of the world, but it can feel overwhelming. The constant weight of thoughts and emotions about the future can feel crippling—day and night.
Learning From Experience: Doing Everything Right Isn’t Always Enough
Through my own experience, I learned that even doing all the right things doesn’t always get you the outcome you hoped for. Foreclosure is a challenging process, but there are steps you can take to navigate it.
How to Communicate With Your Lender
The first step is to call your lender. Let them know you’d like to work with them, but that you don’t currently have the money to make payments. Open communication can often lead to potential solutions.
Creating a Budget to Address Missed Payments
Take time to determine your budget. Can you repay all or part of the back payments owed? Knowing what you can realistically afford will make discussions with the bank more productive. Some states offer programs for homeowners behind on payments. It is best to seek help when you miss only a few payments, they help with back payments.
Exploring Loan Modification Options
Once you have a budget in place, revisit the bank to try to negotiate a loan modification. However, be aware that attempting to work with the bank on a modification may not stop court proceedings. When this happened to me, it was incredibly stressful.
The Emotional Toll of Foreclosure
Foreclosure is a difficult and emotional time. Days and nights can blend together as stress mounts. That’s why taking action quickly is so important—don’t delay!
