With the downturn in the market, we're seeing more and more scams around the whole Foreclosure market. What are some of the ways you can avoid this?
One of the main ways people are scammed is getting charged exorbitant fees to have their mortgage payments negotiated. And the easiest way to learn not to get scammed is to know that you can negotiate your own fees, for free! There are free programs at the city, county and state level available for home owners where in many cases a counselor will negotiate your fees, at no charge.
Contact your local Fair Housing Association and find out where you can find free counseling to help you stave off foreclosure!
