What Happens When You Miss Mortgage Payments?

Foreclosure may occur. This is the legal means that your lender can use to repossess (take over) your home. When this happens, you must move out of your home. If your property is worth less than the total amount you owe on your mortgage loan, a deficiency judgment could be pursued and your wages might be garnished. If that happens, you won't just lose your home. Both foreclosures and deficiency judgments could seriously affect your ability to qualify for credit in the future; you should try stopping foreclosure if possible. You will be served with a Notice of Default after being 90 days late, but do NOT move out until you consult an attorney or a licensed Real Estate agent. There will most likely be plenty of time left to help you select the right alternative.

What Should You Do?

DO NOT IGNORE THE LETTERS FROM YOUR LENDER. If you are having problems making your payments, call your lender's Loss Mitigation Department immediately. Explain your complete situation. Be prepared to provide them with financial information, such as your monthly income and expenses. Without this information, they usually will not help you. Stay in your home for now. You may not qualify for assistance if you abandon your property. Call me to do a loan modication or talk about a short sale at Call (609) 234-9228 or contact a HUD-approved housing counseling agency. Call (609) 234-9228 for the housing counseling agency nearest you. These agencies are valuable resources. They frequently have information on services and programs offered by Government agencies as well as private and community organizations that could help you. The housing counseling agency may also offer credit counseling. These services are usually free of charge.
