It’s
cool to see so many responses here about foreclosure. I was able to
stop foreclosure myself when we nearly lost our home. I guess I’m one
of the lucky ones. I worked closely with a professional to help me to
find a way to save my home. The only reason that I knew about these
options was because my brother was also facing foreclosure. He told me
how to stop foreclosure was to get a professional to help me to get
caught up on the payments or to even sell the homes before I lost it. I
was able to stop foreclosure by getting a hardship loan to help me. It
was the best thing I did.
I live in Phoenix Arizona.
It’s
amazing how many houses are up for sale because people can’t afford it
anymore. What are we supposed to do? When my parents were younger, and
they couldn’t make a payment on their home, they found a way to get
caught up. I don’t understand why so many people don’t fight for their
home! You don’t have to lose it to foreclosure! I think everyone should
know that you can find other solutions to foreclosure. Thanks for
helping me to keep from making this mistake.

Hi there, I saw your post and wanted to comment about it. That's
awesome that you were able to stop foreclosure and to save your house.
Seems like there are solutions out there, we just have to find them. It
is going to take some time for my situation. We are struggling with an
adjustable rate mortgage right now and interest rates are set to
increase in about two months. We are working on trying to refinance
before we wind up in foreclosure too. It looks like from what other
people say, the foreclosure consequences are bad.
We really thought that we were going to have to
give up on our
home. We live in Tucson, which is not too far away from where you live.
The home values here are bad, too. I know that it is going to be hard
to get our home appraised for the value we need it to be so that we can
avoid foreclosure (and that adjusted interest rate.) I came here in the
hopes of finding some solutions just in case we can't stop foreclosure
from happening with a home refinance. Your story is an inspiration to
me! That's for sharing it.

Great
Post, it helps by: Jim
That’s great that you were able to stop foreclosure. Has anyone else
had this happen to them? I’m facing it too. Seems that the bank has
given us the next 30 days to figure something out. I don’t know what
I’m going to do. Hardship loans may be an option for us. We have really
bad credit and I thought that maybe we should just let our home go to
foreclosure. We’ve been here about 9 years and have a lot of memories
here. Hey, our kids were born here. Why do I want to lose my home?
Can anyone share with me their experience? For example, is it
possible for me to get out of this quickly? I want to stop foreclosure
too. Sounds like there are some options. I know there are a lot listed
on this website. But, I would rather hear from someone that actually is
going through it right now.
Maybe someone can share with me how they kept from getting
out of
it. I’m thinking that this could be something for me. What’s a real
life situation like? I wonder if I am the only one going through this!
