Four Common Solutions for Homeowners Looking to Avoid Foreclosure

RISMEDIA, Dec. 19, 2007-The recent agreement by federal regulators and mortgage lenders to freeze interest rates for five years on certain subprime, adjustable rate mortgage loans is intended to help many homeowners avoid foreclosure.

However, for homeowners who have missed mortgage payments and may not qualify for the program, working with a credit counseling agency will allow them to explore alternatives to foreclosure, more commonly known as “workout solutions.”

“The agreement announced in early December is an effort to help people with adjustable rate loans stay in their homes,” said Suzanne Boas, president of Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater Atlanta, Inc. “However, most of the people who are turning to us for help are currently delinquent on their loans, having missed payments for a variety of reasons, ranging from reduced income to large medical expenses. We are working every day to find ways to help these families stay in their homes, too.”

Under the agreement announced Dec. 6, borrowers with interest rates scheduled to adjust between January 2008 and July 2010, who are no more than 60 days late and would be unable to afford their new mortgage payments can have their rates frozen for five years.

At CCCS of Greater Atlanta, Inc., certified housing counselors work with homeowners to analyze their current financial situation, communicate with their mortgage lender and outline a variety of options that may allow them to keep their home. If the homeowner has the desire to stay in their home, there are four common plans that CCCS counselors typically explore with their lenders.
