There is nothing stopping you from doing the work required to stop foreclosure of your home.

Many people feel that they do not have the ability or smarts to stop foreclosure. Or, they may be too embarressed, or they may just be in a state of denial.

YOU can stop foreclosure yourself.

You can learn all about the foreclosure process. There are thousands of free resources on the web. Your first stop should be finding out what your state's law is regarding foreclosure.

A few options to stop foreclosure now include:

Reinstatement: You pay all the back mortgage owed, plus any fees, pentalities or costs due because of late payments of the mortgage.

Repayment Plan: You setup a repayment plan with your mortgage lender that is a separate "loan" where you pay what you owe in back mortgage payments including additional costs, over a period of time. You will also have to make your monthly mortgage payment on time.

Refinance: You could refinance your mortgage to lower your mortgage payments so you can afford them. Usually, you can only refinance if you are up to date on your current mortgage.

The above are a just a small example of how to stop foreclosure now.

Another way to slow or stop the foreclosure process is to write a Hardship Letter to Stop Foreclosure

Basically, the hardship letter is addressed to your mortgage lender and tells them that you are under "hardship" in meeting your financial responsibilities at this time. You should write IN DETAIL what has caused this condition and have documents to back up the reasons. The letter can also ask the Mortgage Lender to help you find a way to make the current mortgage affordable for you.

Many times, a Mortgage Lender can work with you to find a way for you to afford the monthly payments. It depends on the particular Mortgage Lender & their policies.

Unfortunately, when you are in this situation, you may be so stressed you cannot "think" straight. You may wish to consider hiring an Foreclosure Expert or Professional Company to deal with stopping foreclosure of your home.

If you are too stressed to deal with stopping foreclosure on your home yourself, you may wish to hire an Expert Foreclosure Company or Specialist.

There are many reputable foreclosure expert companies online, and there may be foreclosure experts in your local area.

If you decide to use an expert, then please make sure you research their credentials. The best way to find an expert locally is through a close friend or relative you trust -- because there are ALOT of foreclosure help scams.

An online foreclosure expert may be helpful to you. You can easily "google" the company's name and find out if there are any complaints about the company.

On July 30 2008, President Bush signed into law HR-3221 which provides $180 million dollars to help the ever increasing housing market. These funds include monies to be applied to non-profit pre-foreclosure counseling and grants to help with legal fees associated with foreclosure.

Depending on your home foreclosure situation, you may be able to get help from the government agencies that have recently been setup to help stop foreclosure.

Many of the government agencies are designed to help redo or modify your mortgage so that the monthly payments will be affordable for you.
