My home burned down an I can't afford to rebuild, what can Option One do to us?
May 05, 2008
Our home was lost in a wildfire and we are insured for only 43,000.00. (We didn't know that of course). We are not making payments because we can't afford to continue to pay on a piece of dirt that doesn't have a home on it, and we can't rebuild one. The second mortgage holder is telling me they can garnish our wages and that we still have to pay for the loan. Is that true? or won't they just have to deal with whatever they get from the sale of the land? Or are we liable even after the land is gone? I spoke with one of your specialists about 3 months ago and they said they couldn't help, which I understand. I just wondered about the truth of the second lenders threats to us.... thank you for your time and the answer to my question.

Your credit will be shot,but there really is no other choice. The second lender will probably try to negogiate with you because they know the paper the loan was written on is now worth.
