Not being able to pay your mortgage is scary stuff. Unfortunately, there are many Americans who are in this position today - or may be facing it coming down the road in a very short while.
There are resources available to help you with your mortgage concerns - sometimes even offering you a generous loan to help tide you over for awhile. As this issue concerns more and more families hopefully even more resources will become available. Some of the agencies we spoke to are expecting positive change to help them assist even more people. One agency even refused to be listed in this article, saying that it was expecting an infusion of assistance and didn't want to be listed until it had this to offer people.
All of the experts agreed on one thing if you have a mortgage problem - or even if you think you are going to have a mortgage problem: face it early. "If the client can ask for help on day one instead of day twenty it can make a difference, there can be more possibilities for assistance," said Bianca Lopez, Director of the Neighborhood Preservation Company Program for Human Development Services of Westchester, New York (www.hdsw.org). So being proactive is valuable. The options you will have available to you at the very start are often the very best. No one likes thinking they have a serious problem. But it is like they say: the number one rule of realizing that you are in a hole? Stop digging!
