I’m screwed!!!! by angieweeks http://weeksteam.wordpress.com/2009/03/08/help-im-late-on-my-mortgage-payment-i-got-a-notice-of-default-i-have-a-sale-date-im-screwed/#comment-335 angieweeks Wed, 03 Jun 2009 16:25:25 +0000 http://blog.askangie.com/?p=219#comment-335 Cantrice, I'm so sorry that you're going through this. You don't have a lot of time, so you MUST ACT FAST. Have you called the non-profit number above at 866-550-5705? I believe its a Chase center however if your loan is not with Chase they should have resources for you. Many times the non-profits have relationships with the right people at the bank and they can stop your sale date. Its very possible that Jen can help you as well. No offense to Jen but there are a lot of people out there who claim they can adjust a mortgage and just take your money. BE CAREFUL. Jen, your 96% success rate seemed good so hopefully you are one of the few ethical ones and can help Cantrice. Cantrice, you should CALL EVERYONE you can right now for help, as much as you would probably like to hide in your bed under the covers. Call your mortgage company directly and see what programs they have to work with you. Also, I have heard success stories from people who work with United Law Group. I have also heard failure stories. Working with a lawyer has benefits because the bank pays more attention to them and it takes some of the difficulty off of you having to be on emotional phone calls. Check out http://www.unitedlawgroup.com and call in to see options. If you work with a lawyer you will have to pay a retainer fee upfront. If you work with someone like Jenn or a licensed broker its ILLEGAL to pay upfront, so again beware if you are asked. I will be praying for you! PLEASE make those calls. Do not let any option go unresearched... it will be worth it if you can fight through this to save your home. Cantrice, I’m so sorry that you’re going through this.

]]> Comment on Fighting Foreclosures in the Orange County Real Estate Market by foreclosurefish http://weeksteam.wordpress.com/2008/03/06/fighting-foreclosures-in-the-orange-county-real-estate-market/#comment-218 foreclosurefish Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:48:32 +0000 http://weeksteam.wordpress.com/?p=129#comment-218 Good points, the banks don't really want to foreclose. Unfortunately, too few homeowners are really aware of the various options they have to save their homes. Some of them are quite complicated, but others just involve a call to the bank and filling out some forms. If a phone call, a few hours of gathering information, and sending a fax can stop foreclosure, that's a pretty good bargain. Especially when compared to losing a home and having to deal with the credit consequences of foreclosure for years after the fact. Good points, the banks don’t really want to foreclose.

Of course I was completely impressed with the professionalism and dedication of all agents involved. I have to tell you I especially liked reading your offer letter. It set a good tone for the rest of the offer. You certainly have a way with words. Lastly I'd like to wish many happy memories to the new owners. They were awesome buyers!! Hi Angie,
