Where to Get Reputable Help
If you’re worried about paying your mortgage or have already received a foreclosure notice, the first person to contact is your lender. You may be able to obtain a new repayment schedule. How soon should you wait to seek help?
- Get help immediately.
- Wait at least a week or two so that you have time to think about the types of aid you might need.
- Wait six months -- this may give you time to improve your finances.
“A” is correct! Don’t wait. The sooner you seek assistance, the better chance you have to save your home. A HUD-approved housing counselor like Guidewell Financial Solutions also can help you work with your lender and understand the available options.
