Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Many Homeowners in Foreclosure Believe in Magic

Foreclosure is a financial and legal issue. If you attack the issue from a financial standpoint, you must to have cash to pay your mortgage. If you attack it from a legal standpoint, you must be able to find a flaw in the foreclosure lawsuit to dismiss it. I don’t see any other way of stopping foreclosure.

If you are facing foreclosure at this moment, you are inundated by letters from foreclosure assistance companies that charge outrageous amounts of money to negotiate with your lender; the majority of these companies are a scam.

You also get creative letters from so-called “investors” offering free advice and with the intention to make you sell your home to them at a deep discount using deceptive kitchen table closings in which they make you sign mysterious paperwork (land trusts, etc) that basically transfer the title/deed of your home to them sometime taking over your mortgage payments and leaving the loan liability on your name. Some of this “investors” also offer very deceptive “lease-back” arrangements in which they let you stay in your home as a tenant, and they pray that you stop paying rent so that they can evict you so that they can take possession of your house. You also get letters from Realtors® who are trying to make you list your home for sale and paint a rosy picture of the real estate market and the value of your home (Read National Consumer Law Center’s report “Dreams Foreclosed;” one of the best studies recently written about the rampant theft of American’s homes through equity-stripping foreclosure rescue scams).

Last but not least dangerous, you get letters from nice attorneys offering free consultations to make you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy; what these attorneys don’t tell you is that based on research (see studies: The Realities of U.S. Personal Bankruptcy under Chapter 13, and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Successful Versus Unsuccessful Debtors) the overwhelming majority of Chapter 13 filers do not complete their payment plans and are not discharged.

You will also find on the internet a proliferation of eBooks that promise to stop foreclosure magically with names such as “Foreclosure Free Zone,” “The Fight Of Your Life: How To Beat The Foreclosure Demons Smart Solutions For Saving Your Home,” “Avoid Foreclosure And Fix Credit Problems,” ”Foreclosure Help – Don’t Let The Bank Take Your Home!“ In my research, I’ve even bought some of these type of eBooks just to see what’s so magical about them, and found that they don’t have any information that isn’t common sense and readily available for free online. All the advice in these books fall into these categories: 1) Talk to your lender, 2) Sell your home, 3) File for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, and 4) Refinance/Get a loan. None of these books, nor the Chapter 13 attorney, nor the Realtors®, nor the “investors” in their white horses tell you about your legal rights and how you can defend yourself from the abuse of the debt collector attorneys.

Foreclosure is a financial and legal issue. If you attack the issue from a financial standpoint, you must to have cash to pay your mortgage regardless of negotiating a payment plan with your lender yourself or through a foreclosure assistance/consulting company. Bear in mind that when negotiating a payment plan with your lender (sometimes called Forbearance Agreement) , you may be required to come up with a lump sum (usually half of your past-due payments) and proof of income. It’s very simple; if you have sufficient cash and/or income to pay your monthly mortgage obligation, it’s very likely you can negotiate something with your lender to stop foreclosure. If you don’t have the cash and/or the income, you will have to attack the issue from a legal standpoint.

If you attack the issue from a legal standpoint, you must learn about your legal rights and, preferably with the help of a consumer protection attorney (www.naca.net), find a technical or legal flaw in the lawsuit to have it dismissed. These flaws could be hidden in the lender’s debt collection attorney not following your state’s rules of civil procedures (for instance: You were served improperly) or by digging into the foreclosure complaint and court docket to see if there is an actual plaintiff’s proof of ownership of the promissory note, or if the original promissory note has been filed in the court records, or any of the other twenty-something reasons that that could render a judgment void or invalid.

There is no magic in foreclosure. If a homeowner doesn’t pay his or her mortgage, the lender will foreclose on their homes. There is no magical negotiation with a lender that can be done without cash at hand and/or ability to pay supported by proof of income. There is a lot of literature on the internet and in bookstores about the debt collection industry, on how to stop foreclosure negotiating with the mortgage lenders, about how debt collections works, about what to expect from debt collectors, etc, etc. However there is little information about how to navigate the legal system, on how to file pleadings and motions and on how to execute the steps necessary to win the debt collection/foreclosure battle in court. Almost nobody explains to homeowners in simple terms how the legal system works and how they can use it to your advantage to win debt collection lawsuits.

It’s not hard to confuse a legitimate credit offer with an advance-fee loan scam. An offer for credit from a bank, savings and loan, or mortgage broker generally requires your verbal or written acceptance of the loan or credit offer. The offer usually is subject to a check of your credit report after you apply to make sure you meet their credit standards. Usually, you are not required to pay a fee to get the credit.

Homeowners’ Dilemma: to be or not to be in Foreclosure

An increasing number of homeowners have their homes and investment rental homes under water, have good credit, and don’t know what to do. Their dilema is either to keep their high credit score and get stressed and financially drained with a depreciating asset, or get rid of the assets in foreclosure, get rid of the stress, and keep their hard-earned cash to buy more properties in 2012-2014 or so when the market is expected to hit bottom. This is a personal decision that nobody can make for them.
