Foreclosure
is a legal process by which a bank, mortgage company or
other creditor takes a homeowner’s property in order to
satisfy a debt. The foreclosure is the result of
non-payment of the mortgage (including second mortgages
and home equity loans); however, people also lose their
homes due to unpaid property taxes. As a result of the
foreclosure (at the end of the redemption period), the
homeowner loses the rights he or she had to the
property.
You can stop a foreclosure with a

Alternatives to Foreclosure
Your lender may be willing to work out an alternative to
foreclosure that may help you save your home, or at least to
prevent a foreclosure from ruining your credit.
SOME ALTERNATIVES INCLUDE:
1. Repayment Plan: Your lender may give you a fixed
amount of time to repay the amount you are behind, plus any late
fees, by adding a portion to your regular monthly payment. This
is a good option if you only missed a few payments.
2. Forbearance: Your lender may agree to suspend your
payments for a period of time. At the end of this time, you will
resume your regular monthly payments, and you may be required to
either make one lump sum payment or additional partial payments.
This may be a good option if you have a temporary reduction in
income.
3. Loan Modification: Your lender may agree to reduce
your interest rate, extend the term of the loan, or add missed
payments to the loan balance.
4. Selling Your Home: Depending on the strength of the
housing market in your area, selling may provide funds needed to
pay the mortgage debt in full. In a “Short
Sale,” the lender allows you to sell and agrees to forgive any
shortfall between the sale price and the mortgage balance.
A Short Sale will be less damaging to your credit than a
foreclosure.
5. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure: You voluntarily transfer
title to the lender in exchange for cancellation of the
remainder of your debt, but you will lose any equity in the home
and may have to pay taxes on the debt forgiven. A sale or a deed
in lieu of foreclosure may be a better alternative than a
foreclosure adversely affecting your credit.
