A variety of reasons exist as to why you may find yourself in this situation. Job loss, divorce and health issues are but a few. The key is to act as soon as possible when you see foreclosure as a threat. Take the time to sort through all the bills and notices and accurately assess your situation. Try to determine as best you can as to whether this is a short term or long term problem. Can you find a new job soon? Will you be able to be back to work in a timely manner if you are dealing with a health issue? Be honest with yourself because you will need to be honest with the mortgage holder. Put together a plan that will get you back on track. Then, pick up the phone and explain to your mortgage holder why you have been late with your loan payment and your plans to remedy the situation.

Credit Counseling - Sometimes credit counseling may provide answers. Reputable credit counselors deal with this type of situation on a daily basis and may be able to provide answers.

Loans - Borrowing more money may be the last thing you want to consider but can be an option if your problem appears to be short term. Family, other loan companies or maybe even a cash advance off your credit card may be the answer if you are only a couple of payments behind and you have a solid plan to also repay this loan. Be very careful to make sure this is a fix to a short- term problem and doesn’t present another problem a few months down the road.
