Facing Foreclosure? 5 Immediate Steps to Take Right Now

Facing Foreclosure? 5 Immediate Steps to Take Right Now

Published on 04/29/2025

🚨 Step 1: Open Every Letter

(Even the scary ones)

  • What to look for:

    • "Notice of Default" (first warning)
    • "Acceleration Letter" (full balance due)
    • "Notice of Sale" (auction date)
  • Why it matters:

    • Missed deadlines = faster foreclosure
    • Some letters have errors you can fight

πŸ“Œ Pro Tip: Take photos of all letters and circle dates in red.


πŸ“ž Step 2: Call Your Lender TODAY

Use this script:

"Hi, I'm [Your Name] at [Address]. I just received foreclosure notices and want to discuss:

  1. Loan modification options
  2. Forbearance programs
  3. How to pause foreclosure while we talk

Please email all options to [Your Email] by tomorrow."

πŸ“± Best Times to Call:

  • 8:05-8:30 AM (less wait time)
  • Avoid: Mondays and month-ends

  3. Hardship explanation (Example: "Lost job on [date]")
  4. Current mortgage statement
