Foreclosure on the Horizon?
DebtCleanse helps you stop the clock and save your home.
Receiving a foreclosure notice is probably one of the scariest things a homeowner can experience. At this point in the process, you’ve fallen 90 – 120 days behind in your mortgage payments and your lender intends to take your property and sell it unless you make up your payments immediately. Although a stressful situation, you should know you’re not alone.
As of the second quarter of 2020, about 1 in 2,756 properties are in foreclosure with about 376,052 housing foreclosures in the US. With the COVID-19 pandemic showing no signs of being over anytime soon, it is likely that there will be a substantial increase in foreclosures, short sales and bank-owned properties.
While receiving a foreclosure notice may seem like the end of the world as you know it, you can still avoid having your home repossessed.
Something that the homeowner should take into consideration when thinking about their foreclosure is the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA). This federal law requires mortgage lenders, loan servicers and brokers to give borrowers certain disclosures regarding the nature and costs related to buying real estate.
In regards to stopping the foreclosure process, one of the most powerful tools RESPA offers is the Qualified Written Request (QWR). A QWR is a letter written to the servicer of your loan to request a review of the account due to potential errors. In some limited circumstances, such as when the error involves the servicer having commenced foreclosure proceedings too early, the notice will require the servicer to stop or pause the process. Another important benefit of a well-formulated QWR is that detailed information requested may reveal servicing violations and may conflict with other statements sent by the servicer in other contexts, calling the accuracy of its records into question.
Once the foreclosure process begins, you have a few options to stop it. Other than requesting a QWR, some last-minute strategies that can help you avoid foreclosure consist of filing for bankruptcy, applying for a loan modification or filing a lawsuit. Of course, the solution you should choose largely depends on your unique circumstances including the time left to foreclose and the option that your lender favors.
