Have You Got the New Possibility for Those Caught in the Foreclosure Process?

Wow, what an incredible challenge so many people are facing. They are struggling on every move they make to get out of foreclosure, and avoid loosing their homes. However, no matter what they do they seem to only dig themselves deeper, and deeper into the hole. It’s almost as if people are stuck, stuck in the muck and the mud of a depressing downward spiral. As if they’re in quick sand, and trying to escape. Well, I’ve been thinking why is it that so many people are holding on to their homes, as if holding on to a sinking ship and hoping to survive the raging ocean that swirls all around them.

I was talking with Danny, and oh, if you could only hear his story. Nothing about his lender’s attitude seemed favorable; nothing about the structure of his mortgage seemed beneficial to him. In fact, Danny was stuck in foreclosure. There he was struggling hard to hold on to a home that he didn’t even like anymore. He had totally lost his pride of ownership. Lost interest in keeping the home, lost his desire to live in that neighborhood, didn’t like his neighbors, didn’t like the side of town he was on because it was far from work; it was not a safe community for him.  I asked Danny one simple question and got him thinking. I said Danny, “Why are you holding on to this home, as if it’s the only home in the world?”

What Should I Do After I Write a Hardship Letter to the Bank to Stop the Foreclosure Process?

Filed under FDO Blog, Hardship Letters

Let me tell you about Danny. His house was in foreclosure. And all he did was write a

hardship letter. He had high hopes that writing a hardship letter would be sufficient.

Boy was he wrong!

In that letter he told the banker all about his troubles and asked for a loan negotiation

and some time to get back on his feet.

The good news is Danny got what he wanted. A loan negotiation and more time. But what did he

do with that?  What do you think Danny did with that extra time?  Do you think he followed

the requirements necessary to complete the loan negotiation like fax in proof of his current

income, and go down to the bank and sign more papers?   NOPE!

Danny did absolutely nothing. He didn’t give the banker copies of his monthly pay stubs. He

didn’t fax in a copy of last year’s income tax. And he didn’t go down to the bank to sign

any paper work.

Well you ask, what did Danny do? NOTHING! Absolutely NOTHING!

That is until one day a sign showed up on his front lawn. Then he came to me. And he sobbed

out a sorry and weak story.

He said well I was going to go down to the bank and sign the paperwork. And I was going to

fax in my income tax and I was going to send in copies of my pay-stub.

Well what do you think I should tell him?  Huh!  Well, I told him what I tell everyone.  I

told him the truth about where these words of hesitation lead you when facing foreclosure.

That’s right!!! Hesitation and inaction leads to a great big sign on the lawn that says

something like, “Bank Sale” or “REO Bank Auction”

But what was so sad for Danny is that he learned the hard way that Writing a Hardship Letter

to the Bank is just not enough.

So what else is needed besides merely writing a hardship letter?  

Good question! I’m so glad you asked. What else is needed besides just writing a hardship

letter? Well let me ask you. What else do you really want?  Like really tell me the truth

here!  What are you expecting from your lender by writing a Hardship Letter?

There is a world of action and little delicate steps that create the gigantic results.  You

must engage in this world of action and take those delicate little steps after you write

that letter to the bank to really stop the foreclosure process. 

And just like in anything else in life, “going to do it” and “planning to do it” and

“thinking about doing it” just doesn’t cut it.

If you really want success stopping your foreclosure procedure then writing a hardship

letter is a great place to start. But it is not a great place to finish.

You have to follow all the instructions that take you far beyond just writing a hardship

letter. And you have to be willing to think fast and act fast, and change fast. That’s just

the bottom line.

AGGRESSIVE ACTION and PERSISTENT DETERMINATION are a must!

Well what action do I think you should take first?  Well once again I’m so glad you asked.
