There are many people across the nation in the same predicament as you. They’re either laid off or only getting less cash and are having a challenging time paying their debts including their mortgage.

You are usually past due on everything from plastic cards to utilities to your bank loan and your lender is out of patience. The lender is calling you regularly and telling you your house will become a bank foreclosed house if you do not pay up. Where is the cash going to come from, though? You just do not have it. Then the bank will go ahead with their threats and your household is in foreclosure. You get the official word from the lender through the mail.

The Obama foreclosure rescue strategy makes sure that there are more new loans available in the housing market, recommends the approval of more loan refinancing applications, and stimulates an increase in the number of permitted loan modifications by banks and lenders.  The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act, which was signed into law by the President himself in May 2009, supports the foreclosure initiative.  This legislation was designed to make some adjustments to the Hope for Homeowners Act that was then given the goal of aiding borrowers who had outstanding mortgage loans with values that were more than the selling prices of their homes.

My exhusband and I went through the process of a short sell on our house to avoid foreclosure. Does this look the same on my credit report?

My home is trying to go for a short sale to avoid foreclosure. I’m going into foreclosure because I don’t have any money. If the short sale goes through and there is a winning bid, who ends up paying for the closing cost and the Realtors?

Our house payment has increased by $900 and one of the family members has lost job, so most likely we’ll have to go with a foreclosure (no equity for refinance). Anyways we have been talking to some loan officers/realtors and they said that “short-sale” is one of the options to can take to save our credit and avoid foreclosure. Taking their advice, I called several companies who had “We Buy Houses” ad on the road sides and their offers seemed too good to be true, saying that they will offer 5 months rent for free if we agree to let them buy our house in short sale. This obviously seems like a scam. So I just wanted to know what is the “correct” procedure to go with a short -sale and what things should be avoided ?

Moreover, we are also thinking about doing a “quit-claim” and transfering the property title to only one family member. However, our loan had several co-borrowers so we were wondering if doing a quit-claim save the rest of the families credit ?

We recently filed Chapter 13 to avoid foreclosure, but now I am thinking about letting the house go and changing to Chapter 7? We can’t afford the house mtgs, taxes and insurance on our reduced salary. Question – in a chapter 7 can the creditors (?) come in and take stuff from your house? If so, what are they looking for – high ticket items? We do not have any. Husband is afraid they will come in and take all kinds of stuff. I disagree. With all the foreclosures coming down right now, they do not have the time or expense to chase all these down.
What about the 2 cars we are behind on payments on?
Has anyone gone thru this?
