Help for Homeowners Facing Foreclosure

OCEANSIDE, Calif., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- As foreclosure numbers increase,
so does the personal toll on homeowners. Foreclosures climb to record levels,
and homeowners caught in this crisis pay a higher cost than just the financial
losses of foreclosure. The personal and emotional costs are also mounting.
They are worried, frustrated and often embarrassed and afraid to talk with
their lender about ways to solve their problems.
Tina, a single mother of two, living in Moreno Valley, California, thought
buying a house was going to be the happiest time of her life. "I was living
'the American dream' until one day my son was diagnosed with a
life-threatening illness. My dream became my nightmare. I started missing
days at work that led to missed income. It was nearly impossible to make my
mortgage payment."
Deborah Stegemann has worked in the real estate industry for more than 35
years and is an expert in credit counseling. She says it is a tough decision
for people who have worked so hard to get where they are, only to have to walk
away from one of the most important investments in their family's life: their
home. "People have options but are so stressed it is making them sick, so not
only are they losing their homes but their health is in danger also."
Larry Howell, co-founder of the Mortgage Default Legal Team, an
organization that assists homeowners through the foreclosure process, said,
"We saw a need that we could fill. We had a group of legal, mortgage, and
real estate professionals that have more than 100 years combined experience.
We negotiate with lenders, stop harassment and collection calls, assist in
relocation and credit repair and counsel our clients about their rights."
Howell said that although many foreclosure stories are about family hardship,
there is also an increasing number of homeowners who are upside-down in their
mortgages; that is the value of their home is significantly less than their
mortgage. They recognize that the investment in their home has gone bad, and
they are looking for help and advice.
According to Howell, "We assist clients through foreclosure and the
transition to a new home and counsel them in how to repair their credit. In
many states we are able to negotiate with lenders to allow homeowners to
remain in their home for up to eight months without making any mortgage
payments."
The company's web site receives thousands of hits and hundreds of calls
from all parts of the United States. Dave, of Henderson, Nevada, found out
how valuable this kind of service can be. "With our finances in shambles,
another baby on the way and debts we couldn't get control of, our consultants
helped us understand our options and what to expect. Not only have we caught
up with a lot of our money woes, we have a lot less sleepless nights now."
