Banks Difficult to Work With When Atempting to Stop Foreclosure

Many foreclosure specialists and mortgage brokers often find it very difficult to work with the mortgage company, especially when a loan is with the foreclosure or loss mitigation department. Getting a call back in a timely manner is near-impossible, regardless of the fact that these same lenders spend money hiring collection agents to call the homeowners all day at home, work, and on their cell phones. But even when a representative from the lender speaks with a human voice instead of throwing clients and third parties into a maze of automated systems, the results are usually just as frustrating.
Unfortunately, the foreclosure case managers from lenders are frequently childish and aggressive, not willing to lift a finger to help their clients save their homes. This is often extremely bewildering to the average homeowner or foreclosure specialist, since the conventional wisdom is that mortgage companies do not want to foreclose on these homes and would rather work with the homeowners to find a solution to stop foreclosure while there is still time. Sometimes their unwillingness to come to a resolution with the homeowners stems from incompetence, sometimes fraud, but many times it is partly the homeowners’ fault.
The most likely scenario is if the homeowners are very far behind and have been working on one plan after another to save the home for months, none of which have gone through. The foreclosure or sheriff sale may have been postponed numerous times, as the lender gave the foreclosure victims the benefit of the doubt that they would be able to work their way out of the problem and save the home.
But by the time the newest foreclosure help company starts working on the file with the owners, the bank is just no longer willing to do anything, after dealing with so many broken promises. They may feel that they have given the foreclosure victims as many chances as possible, and now they are so far behind that the possibility of saving the home is too remote; it will be easier to pursue the foreclosure and get the house ready to sell on the market, rather than wait for another attempt to stop foreclosure to fall through. Their attitude is, “They have to pay every single penny that they’re behind or we are going ahead ahead with the foreclosure auction.” So neither the owners nor the foreclosure specialists can get anything done with the mortgage company.
If this is not the case, though, the problem more than likely lies with the lender itself. The best bet for the homeowners or help company would be to try and talk to someone else from the bank and find out if there is anything anyone else can do. Talking to a higher-up manager or the bank’s attorneys may help to get the plan off the ground. With many of these mortgage lenders, thousands of employees are available to speak with, many with self-important titles like “VP” and “Case Management Officer.” The fact that many of those with these titles will have done nothing to deserve them does not forbid homeowners from looking for others with different titles who are willing to work out a solution.
Especially if there is some kind of firm offer in writing, they should be willing to negotiate. The foreclosure process costs banks more in time, resources, and money than they usually receive from selling the property, and the fact that the real estate market has taken such a turn for the worse only increases the possibility of huge losses on the loan. But in the all-too-common event that the bank is simply not willing to do anything to help their clients, it is just not a very good mortgage company and probably deserve the losses that will occur on the foreclosure.

How Government Makes the Foreclosure Problem Worse
Holding the banks themselves accountable through government intervention will not serve the overall purpose of convincing banks to begin making prudent lending decisions again. In fact, it is government intervention in lowering interest rates and offering cheap credit that significantly contribute to the real estate and other market bubbles to begin with.

Interest Rate Manipulations and the Government’s Role in the Foreclosure Crisis
Government interest rate manipulation and inflation are the two main reasons for the crisis being experienced now. And the solutions that have been offered so far are simply more rate manipulations and inflation. This is like a doctor giving a patient a medication he is violently allergic to, and then prescribing more of the same medication to combat the additional illnesses caused by the medication in the first place.

Tax Liabilities on a Foreclosure Short Sale
When homeowners attempt to sell their house for less than the total amount they owe on it, certain tax liabilities may be triggered. This is one of the reasons that every foreclosure victim should carefully consider whether selling their house short is the right decision for them, and what other options may be available. The danger of getting an income statement at the end of the year for thousands of dollars may result in a higher tax liability than the homeowners anticipated.

Will your Mortgage Company Garnish your Wages After Foreclosure?
If the property does not sell for enough to pay the loan off completely, some states allow mortgage companies to sue for a deficiency judgment after the foreclosure. Again, not all states allow this under the foreclosure laws, but it would give banks the right to garnish wages after the foreclosure, if they decide to sue for the judgment. But again, this comes only after the sheriff sale, and there would be no wage garnishment during the foreclosure process itself.

Selling your Home to Avoid Foreclosure
One of the most effective ways for homeowners to find a way out of foreclosure is simply to sell their property on the open market. In the best of cases, this will allow them to stop the foreclosure process, pay off the defaulted loan in full, and leave the house with a little extra cash for moving expenses, bill payments, or to establish an emergency fund.
