I am behind in mortgage payments- single w/4 children & mother. Where can I find honest help? Most are refinancing companies.

Hi rkcbus.

Welcome to the forum.

As you are behind your mortgage payments, you should contact the loss-mitigation department of the mortgage company ASAP and inform them why you are late on your mortgage payments. You may need to send a hardship letter explaining why you are late and you are trying to pay them. Try to work out some repayment plan with them.

To know how do I negotiate for loss mitigation, check out the article "Loss Mitigation: Avoid Foreclosure with Loan Workout Options" at http://www.mortgagefit.com/loss-mitigation.html

Hope it helps. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best of luck,
Larry

Hi dawn,

Welcome to our forums.

I'd surely like to help you out but what's the situation like? I mean how long is it for the repossession to take place? and didn't you talk to the lender about a repayment plan or any other workout option? If you can explain your situation, it will be easier or me to suggest something better.

Good luck

I am behind 2 months on my home loan I tried to work with country wide my mortgage co. they would only help with a repayment plan. but now my payments are even higher, so theres no way I can make a higher payment but that is all they would do. Is there some one out there who realy can help? I keep getting letters from people who claim if I pay them they can get my company to add the payments to the back of my mortgage, but I am afraid to end up worse then I am now what can I do? I have 7 children living in my home and I am afraid we are going to end up homeless. My husband just took a job out of state to make more money to try to catch up. but that dosent help.

Welcome deb.

I understand the situation you are in. Usually a repayment plan doesn't involved higher payments unless the loan is modified too. Are you sure it wasn't a combination of repayment and loan modification?

There are companies who claim to negotiate on your behalf but many are predatory. So, you need to be careful if you're looking for a loss mitigation specialist. I know of a loss mitigation specialist, Cliff Pape who's an active member in our forums. And he's also a market analyst. So, hopefully he can help you out. You can contact him by pm or mail.

Thanks.
