Mortgage Delinquency / Foreclosure Counseling
Sometimes families experience a loss in income whether it be permanent or temporary. They juggle paying electric bill, buying groceries, and paying a house payment on less income. Repetitively juggling bills could eventually lead to dropping the ball on paying the mortgage. What then? A LIFT CAA foreclosure counselor can provide you with answers to your questions, “What is foreclosure?” “What is a moratorium?” “Do I have options?” You don’t have to do it alone. Our professional foreclosure counselors can help you. Our counselors can explore workout options that your lender may offer such as, forbearance, a repayment plan, partial claim, refinancing, or maybe a loan modification. Let our housing counselors assist you with your lender to prevent foreclosure. Where do you start? Call one of our housing counselors near you.
