Bankruptcy will only produce a slight delay in the foreclosure in most cases.

Untrue. Get to a bankruptcy attorney ASAP for a consult. When s/he files your banruptcy petition, it will get almost every creditor off your back immediately. The sooner you get the ball rolling the better. |

Unless you afform the debt and bring it up to date under the terms of the note the holder willpetition the judge to allow foreclosure to proceed.
All it does is produce a brief delay. |

If you cannot bring the note current, you should look into selling.
If you sell, at least you might preserve some equity. If the note holder sells it is always at a 'fire sale' price and the legal fees for the foreclosure get levied against any money they might get above the note value. The big problem is that they have no incentive to recover any more money than they are owed. i know it is hard no matter how you go about it. Sorry. |
