Bank Threatening Foreclosure

Hey, have you tried contacting this organization about helping with your house? My friend used them and they were able to help her out a lot...

My sister sent me this comment and link when we were going through this...I'm sorry, but I can tell you many many real life stories of banks (esp. big) (WELLS FARGO was mine) who did not try to help and in fact, sneakily foreclosed on our house did it to my friend's nephew too, a little different, but just as sneaky!
Good luck!

I am curious who your mortgage lender is because almost all home lenders will work with just about anyone and especially if you had a good payment history before becoming unemployed. You need to not take no for an answer! Ask to talk to a loan officer (and another two or three if the first one isn't being helpful) and the manager and assistant manager if need be!

I have a friend who became disabled a couple of years ago and was able to forestall foreclosure for a few months but finally realized he was never going to able to hold on to the home because there is no hope of going back to work because of his particular disability. Anyway, he talked to his bank asking about a short sale and a couple of realtors and was Blessedly able to sell it quickly. Had he not done a short sale he would have been on the hook for the money he owed the bank if it had been foreclosed on.

Oh! One more thing! If you have more than a one bedroom home have you thought about renting the other bedroom(s) out to help you pay the mortgage until you're working again? You can charge them the going room rental rate for your area plus a portion of the utilies and in doing so it would help ease your financial burden!

Remember this: "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a code that glorifies it." Frederick Bastiat "The Law" 1850

I'm a Realtor and I can tell you that you're wasting your time. Banks make more $$$ on your home than you think. Example: once they grab your home they hang onto it for a while and then turn to AIG (remember the bail out $$$ we gave them?) they will get a full price from them on your mortgage. Keep in mind that the bank probably paid 30 cents on the dollar for your mortgage. Lets say your home is worth $250K. They get $250K from AIG plus all that money we gave them for loan modifications that they refuse to use.

Now in addition to that they can now sell your home for half price quickly $125,000. Add the figures up it comes to $350,000 not bad for stealing your home out from under you. It's a quick profit better than a slow grind out over 30 years. check out: indymac slap in the face
on Utube.Trust me only 30 cents on the dollar.

You could stall by asking them to "Produce the Note". They can't foreclose unless they produce the original paper you signed.

For a shortsale, I don't know for sure who you would talk to first. Call a realtor and ask if you put the house up for sale first and then have it go to the mortgage holder, or vice versa? All I know is what I see on the Home and Garden Channel. By watching that channel there is a lot a person can learn. I don't even have a house that I can use most of the ideas, but I like to dream.

The mortgage is all I owe, I have cut every other expense to the bare minimum. For a short sale, do I do it myself or talk to a real estate person? I owe no car payment, no credit card, no medical bills. I cannot seem to find work.

You might have to sell. There is something called short sale, where you set the price to what you need to pay off the balance or take the best offer, however, the bank has to approve the cost. Talk to your mortage company about something like that. Doing this would be better than foreclosure or bankruptcy. Bankruptcy might not be too bad of solution. Providing it is like it was a few years ago when I knew several people that filed bankruptcy. They got to keep their homes. Are there other bills you could skip instead of your mortage payment? Credit card bills, or time payments wouldn't be as bad to get behind on.

My husband and I live in the state of TN. We are having some financial troubles so therefore we have gotten behind on our mortgage through Green Tree Servicing. They are threatening to foreclose. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can do?
