| Avoid Foreclosure |
|
Foreclosures are negative for the bank and the homeowner. The homeowner is forced out of their home, and the bank goes through the expense of a foreclosure. If you become delinquent on your mortgage payments, communication with your lender is the key. It is common for homeowners to avoid lender phone calls, but it is imperative that you keep in contact with them. When you are over thirty days late on your mortgage, your lender is likely to report to the credit bureaus that you are delinquent. Each payment that you are behind decreases your score even farther. Once your payments are ninety to one hundred and fifty days late, most lenders will file a notice of default. Once you receive the notice of default, you normally have two to twelve months before your house is sold at auction. The timeline differs from state to state. Currently the best way to avoid foreclosure is to apply for a loan modification before you start to fall behind. Try to get a loan modification before you even miss one payment. You can qualify for a loan modification after the process has started, but the sooner you apply the easier it is to be approved.
