The threat of losing a home because you are unable to pay your mortgage is devastating. At The Law Offices of Kevin Conway, we are committed to exploring all legal options on your behalf to help you keep your home. Some of the ways we can help in this situation include the following:
One of the most popular ways you can put foreclosure proceedings on hold is by filing for bankruptcy. What many people don’t realize is that this even applies to foreclosure proceedings that are supposed to be happening that very day. Once your bankruptcy petition is filed with the court, the automatic stay goes into effect. This requires that all collection and contact efforts against you stop immediately, including a foreclosure. This buys you some time to determine what the next move will be while maintaining your residence.
If you are worried that you can’t make your mortgage payments, there are a few things to consider. You may want to arrange a loan modification, which allows you to come to an agreement with the lender that is better suited to your current financial situation. This process is available during the Foreclosure Settlement Conference, which occurs before the bank can proceed to sell the property. The bank will only approve this request if it seems practical given your current ability to pay. Sometimes, you can obtain a loan modification through the Loss Mitigation Program after filing for bankruptcy. The Loss Mitigation Program lets you pursue a loan modification and ultimately forces a determination on whether you are eligible for a government loan modification or if the bank can provide you with a modification.
