How To Avoid Foreclosure
The current economic crisis has left most Americans in an undesirable state of financial trouble. Be it job loss unpaid bills retirement pensions loans or any other problem you must know how to deal with it.
It is of utmost importance to know how to avoid foreclosure. This is a common issue facing many households today. If you cannot prevent it then make sure that you are aware of the default foreclosure situation. The faster you learn about it and take the right measures the better you chances of beating foreclosure.
Here are some simple tips that tell you how to prevent home foreclosure.
- 1. Talk to the lender
You must never keep your financial problems hidden from the creditors or Mortgage Company. A lot of people feel hesitant about disclosing their financial problems and fear early foreclosure. In fact lenders are more probable to help borrowers retain ownership of their home instead of undertaking expensive foreclosure proceedings.
Rather than doing it alone you can take help from your mortgage company to plan your financial position. This works best when you are one or two payments behind on your loan. Remember not to keep waiting till there is no option left for you or the lender. As soon as you feel that it is not possible to make your loan payments inform your mortgage lender. They are not legally obligated to help you but most lenders are willing to explore different options before foreclosure.
In order to find a proper solution you must provide certain information to the lender. Usually these include your loan account number a brief description of your circumstances a current income document and a list of your household expenses. The lender might provide a loan workout package containing information instructions and forms that must be completed and returned to the lender quickly. Before arriving at a potential solution the information will be thoroughly reviewed.
2. Check on lender correspondence
If you cannot make financial payments and still havent contacted the mortgage company they will call or mail you after you default on payments. Dont ignore them. Their first offer is of help but when ignored lenders will be forced to take legal action against you.
3. Contact a Housing counseling agency
If you think that revealing your financial problems to the lender is distressing or embarrassing it is best to contact a HUDapproved housing counseling agency. Such organizations take the essential steps to save home foreclosure. Also you will be recommended various alternatives offered by lenders and helped in finding the best course of action. On your behalf the counselor may contact the mortgage company and drive a plan to solve your financial problems.
In hard times you should reach out for help instead of isolating yourself. The mortgage company is not your enemy. If taken into confidence from the beginning they can actually offer constructive help and effective solutions for dealing with your financial problems and beating the threat of home foreclosure.

Home Reassessment Fraud
What is it about a sluggish economy that causes the vultures to circle trying to profit from other people’s misfortune? I’m not talking about the opportunists who see money to be made from cleaning foreclosed homes or scoring a good deal on an investment. I’m talking about con artists the likes of Bernard Madoff and the current wave of scams directed at distressed homeowners. Recently we’ve seen the “foreclosure rescue” scams “short sale facilitation” scams and “loan modification” scams. Now the West Coast is experiencing a type of tax reassessment fraud where companies often posing as government agencies request a fee for filing a tax assessment appeal.
Over 500000 single family homes purchased between July 2003 and June 2008 will have their assessments reviewed. Once complete the homeowners will be notified of the results and at that time if they disagree with the assessment can file an application for review. There is no charge for this review.
According to the Los Angeles County Assessor’s website “Various private companies are sending mailings to property owners offering their services to pursue a reduction in their property taxes. These companies may charge hundreds of dollars to file for a reduction in value on behalf of the property owner. Some companies are even imposing late fees if the application is received after an arbitrary deadline. Be aware that solicitations from private companies offering to pursue a reduction in property taxes must clearly indicate that they are NOT a government agency and that their services are NOT approved or endorsed by any government agency. Failure to provide such notice is a violation of California law. If you or someone you know receives an illegal solicitation please contact the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs by phone at 800 9733370 or visit their dca.lacounty.gov/ website.”
This is a slick operation. Apparently the letters are being sent from address identifying itself as Property Tax Reassessment Tax Adjusters or Tax Review on official looking paperwork. The address is a box number and the phone number goes to an answering service. They will provide a reassessment for a charge of 179 and a 30 penalty for any requests after Feb. 26 2009. Unassuming recipients are sending in the fees promptly to avoid the costly penalty charge. Based on different reports the costs vary from 95 to over 200.
There is nothing illegal about charging to complete a reassessment form but these scammers are representing themselves as a government agency and implying that the homeowner has to pay to apply for a review.
Not limited to L.A. County similar complaints are coming from the San Francisco and San Mateo County assessor’s office. At least half of the assessments that are reviewed are lowered due to declining property values so it is well worth the effort to the homeowner to dispute the assessment. They can do this at no cost by completing the DeclineInValue form which is readily available at assessor.lacounty.gov/extranet/guides/prop8.aspx online or at one of the Assessor’s assessor.lacounty.gov/extranet/contactus/districtOffice.aspx District Offices. Generally the review is based on comparable properties in the area and may require some research on the part of the homeowner. If they require assistance all they need do is contact a local realtor specializing in their area and the information will most likely be provided free of charge.
