how long does the foreclosure process normally takes?

Can I stop foreclosure on my house if it has already started?

A friend of mine stopped paying for their home that is upside down. Now it’s in foreclosure and they received notice of auction date. Do they still have a chance to negotiate with the bank to sell property on short sale? Please advise.

My son has been a car salesman for years and made a good living. With the economic problems, he has really been hurting! Now he is behind on his mortgage and has received a 7 day letter from his mortgage holder. He has already used up his savings. Is there some gov’t program or intervention that can save his home?

Do mortgage companies mind stopping foreclosure if you come up with the money to pay up, and get back on track? I recently came up on a large sum of money, will they work with me?

My ex-husband was supposed to pay my mortgage in lieu of child support per our divorce agreement. He has stopped making payments and my home will soon be in foreclosure. I am on disability (SSI) and was wondering if there were any programs to protect disabled people from losing their homes to foreclosure. I doubt there is, but I am desperate as my son is also disabled with autism and moving out of the only home he’s ever known will be terribly detrimental to his progress.

Hi. I have a verbal month to month agreement with my landlord in New York State. She recently stopped paying the mortgage and the house is going to go into foreclosure. I got the paperwork from the attorney handling it back in November. My lanlord states that I have to continue to pay her the rent each month of $400. Is this true? I’ve heard from other sources that I can continue to live in the house with out paying my landlord until the bank gives me a 60 day notice to move.
Thanks for all your help in advance!

Yes there is. You may contact the lender that is doing the foreclosure, tell them you have a vested interest in the property, and you need to know the amount that is owed to them to stop their foreclosure.
They might want proof so you might want to get a copy of your lien from a title company. Faxit to them as soon as possible.
Once you have this information, contact a foreclosure service in your locality, give them the information and they will foreclose on your behalf.
Some charge an up front fee and some don’t, so if you are short of funds you might shop around until you find one that take their fees out on the back end of the foreclosure. They will take over the foreclosure from the previous lender.
It does not matter unless you don’t have the funds because who ever pay for it will get it back if the owner bring the foreclosure current or the house is sold at the bid or sale.
If the house do not sale then you will have to come up with the monthly payment to the mortgage company as well as the foreclosure services fee, but the house is now yours.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.
“FIGHT ON:

The only way to stop it is to pay the back mortgage and taxes and bring it up to date, or sell the house for more than you owe. Otherwise it will happen.

A bankrupsy only gives you a little more time. You can only stop the procedure by bringing your account current.
