Foreclosure is a very serious matter. You're now receiving all sorts of letters in the mail from different companies, all telling you that they can help you. They can be very confusing.

Many companies will make big promises. For example, if a company tells you that they can lower your rate to a specific interest rate, lets use 5.25% as an example, chances are they are not being straight with you. Interest rate reductions are a moving target, nothing is set in stone until the mortgage company signs off on it. Another red flag is how a company accepts payment for their fee's. If they only accept payment by Western Union or cashiers check, this means that you have no recourse in getting your money back. Which is exactly the way they want it. Reputable companies accept debit cards as payment for services. By accepting debit cards (not paypal) this means the company has a merchant account and YOU have recourse through your bank. Qualifying for a merchant account requires that a company has been in business for at least two years with a good history. If you want to find out how long a company has been in business, a good way to check is by checking out when the their internet domain name was registered. Many companies put together a impressive website and then when the authorities start coming after them they simply register a website under a different name. You can check a websites creation date by going to www.betterwhois.com. Chances are you will find that they have registered the domain name within the last year or so. Do you want to trust your home to someone with little to no experience?

Just Walk Away
It has come to our attention that some organizations are advising people on the phone and by mailers to home owners, to just walk away and let it go to foreclosure. It appears the organizations behind this campaign may be groups of investors that want to buy your property cheap at auction. This can be devastating for home owners in many states, as the home owner is responsible for the deficiency, which means if you owe $225,000 on your loan, and your home sells for $100,000 at auction, you're on the hook for the $125,000 difference. They can garnish wages to get it. This means the investor gets a great deal and the homeowner gets a huge bill as they are being kicked to the curb.

Private Investors/Lenders:
They will tell you that they will bring your mortgage current and payoff all back fees to save your home, and they will, for a price of coarse.

In order for them to do that you must "Quick Deed" (sign over your home to them in their name). In turn they will lease your home back to you with 15-20% higher payments for 1, 2 or 3 years until they have made their investment back. Then they will agree to sign your home back to you. Sounds good so far, right? But here's the trick.

In the contract that you sign, somewhere in the fine print, it will say if the lessee (you) are 24 hours late with your monthly payment within the duration of your contract, then the lessee (you) must evacuate the premises. Usually within 5 - 7 days. Over 90% of homeowners that fall for this trick end up losing their homes. These investors all know that you've had payment problems in the past. That's why they prey on homeowners in your situation. Next thing you know your family is out on the street with no home or hope and the investor just tricked you out of your $150,000 home that cost them only $4,000 to $5,000. So PLEASE BEWARE. Don't do it.

New Loan:
You try to take out another loan. This is less of an option now because you've proven that you can't make payments on time and your credit is not good. Some predatory lenders will use the "new loan" scam on you just to waste your precious time. They will drag out their "loan approval" process for as long as they can. Usually a few days before your foreclosure sale date they will inform you that they couldn't get you approved for a new loan (surprise..surprise!) and they feel so bad that they will help you out personally by loaning you the money you need and for this you will need to sign your home (quick deed) over to them. The rest of this scenario is the same as the paragraph above. You gain nothing. Don't fall for it.

Real Estate Agents:
They approach you wanting to sell your home for you. They say they want to help you out, but many actually are just helping you out of you're home and onto the street, and helping themselves to a huge profit, thanks to you.
