Tips On How To Stop Foreclosure WA

By Maria Morris


Foreclosure refers to the legal process that allows mortgage lenders or the municipality where you pay taxes to seize your property. This is done as a way of paying off whatever is owed in payments or back taxes. It does not however mean that simply because a lender files a foreclosure complaint then they will definitely win. When considering how to stop foreclosure WA residents should know of the different options.

One of the first options that one can consider is to try and work closely with the lender. When a client suspects they might miss their monthly payment, which will put them at increased risk, they can contact the lender. The risk should never be assumed. In a number of instances, even lenders do not really want to foreclose. A client can explain to a lender the various challenges they could be going through and tell them they are temporary. For example, it could be that they got medical bills that they did not expect or lost their job.

Modification of a loan is an assured way of avoiding foreclosure. For most lenders, paying some bit of what is owed is better than not paying anything at all. This is why they are willing to modify the loan terms if need be. One option is to extend the period of amortization. This is the period through which payments should be made. By making the loan life longer, monthly payments will reduce. There is also the option of changing the rate of interest. The rate of interest depends on factors like credit rating.

Clients are free to request for forbearance which is a temporary method of stopping the procedure. It allows them to make partial payment or make no payments of the mortgage for a period of time that is agreed. At the end of the day however, the payments will be made in full. There is the option of making a single lump sum payment or making some extra payment in addition to the monthly payment.

One can consider hiring a housing counselor. They work on behalf of their clients to get their finances back on track. They will work to find compromise between the client and the lender so that the property is not foreclosed. One should however be wary of counselors who guarantee that that they will stop the process.

If a client does not have a trust deed, it is advisable to file a written response. They will file a response to the raised complaint. That way, a lender does not get the ruling that they desired. One will need to research well for the defense against the foreclosure process. They should be able to give tangible reasons why the process should not proceed.

You can consider selling the house before it gets auctioned. For those that are able to sell their houses before they are foreclosed, they will still keep the equity that they have. The biggest thing is to try get a market within that short period.

There is the option of considering bankruptcy. There are tests that must be passed for bankruptcy to be declared. Filing for bankruptcy stops foreclosure.
