Chapter 13 is not the answer
California foreclosure
This an actual request from a client
“We have been unable to make payments due to medical issues. Then we tried to file chapter 13. We then dismissed this case in only 2 months time. Since then we have tried to work with a third party to purchase our home and then sell it back to us. The mortgage company will not settle for a reasonable amount. They feel we can work out a forbearance agreement, but we do not have a down payment to get us there. They say with all fees we are $40,000 behind. They want $20,000 down. We couldn’t even give $5,000 down. I am interested in a loan modification, but they will not work with me. Do you think you can help?
We can definitely help in the situation. Our clients typically will need to come up with 25%-30% of the delinquency… in this case since the reinstatement quote is so high it would be easy to get them to accept less. Remember, they don’t want to Foreclose any more than you want them to Foreclose. Bankruptcy is never a valid option to cure a Mortgage default. Statistics show that over 80% of all Bankruptcies fail and therefore do not help you cure the Mortgage situation.
