How to solve my home loan payment problems?
Answer:Solve your home loan payment problems with a preemptive approach. Refinance, consolidate debt or sell the house while your credit is not badly hurt. Negotiate forbearance agreement with the lender if you think they will agree and your financial troubles will be resolved soon.
Home loan payment problems can also be solved through filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy - this is debt consolidation mandated by court. Your payment is reduced and combines all possible obligations you may have. If you keep up the scheduled repayment plan, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a tool to help you solve home loan payment problems within 5 years time.
If you are deep in foreclosure, Chapter 13 bankruptcy will help you get out of foreclosure provided our house is not yet sold.
Have in mind, though, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy does show on your credit report for 7 years, even though it solves mortgage payment problems.
Final piece of advice: Monitor your credit report and score regularly, to ensure there are no inaccuracies or unauthorized activity. Your credit report and score are the two major methods that creditors and lenders use to make a credit decision about you. Higher scores usually mean lower interest rates, which will save you money.
