How do I stop a foreclosure?

ladycinnamon13 asked:


We got about a month behind on our mortgage right after hurricane Ivan due to damages and my husband out of work (his work was damaged). We have our mortgage through Ameriquest. We almost had it caught up and they upped the interest rate twice, increasing the monthly payment, that plus the late fees keep piling up. We wound up two months behind. I sent this months’ payment in plus an extra $100, but they still haven’t applied it to my mortgage. What do I do? And if they are starting the preforeclosure things will they refuse my monthly payment? BTW, I live in Florida. I don’t want to lose our house. If we can just work out the two back payments and slack off on the late fees, we can make the mortgage payment ok.

Okay. Basically I rented a house with my 2 children and I later found out that my house was being foreclosed because the owner or shall I say previous owner missed her mortgage payments.

Do you think any of these things mentioned here is a true real major contributor to foreclosure crisis?

The Fed is considering:

_barring lenders from penalizing subprime borrowers — those with spotty credit or low incomes — who pay their loans off early.

_forcing lenders to make sure that borrowers, especially subprime borrowers, set aside money to pay for taxes and insurance.

_restricting loans that do not require proof of a borrower’s income.

_examining lenders’ failure, in some cases, to consider a borrower’s ability to repay a home loan.

_improving financial disclosure so people better understand the terms and conditions of their mortgages and get this information when it is most useful.

_curtailing abuses in mortgage advertising.

“We have an obligation to prevent fraud and abusive lending,” the Fed chairman, Ben Bernanke, said earlier this year. “At the same time, we must tread carefully so as not to suppress responsible lending or eliminate refinancing opportunities for subprime borrowers.’

–ALSO prepayment penalties was mentioned
I dont. It seems to me that the politicians are intent on making it look like they are addressing the problem while totally avoiding discussing all the real major reasons people are struggling at record levels to pay for their homes.
You got to see bigger people…..see the whole picture, not the obvious.

Obama or McCain? Why? Be specific. Use Sources.Intelligent conversation only. No lies or Manipulation of facts?

Dustin K asked:


Ex.

I support Obama because..

I want a president who can make us proud as Americans. How great would it be after 7 and ½ years to have an articulate leader, an eloquent speaker, one who is not only willing to talk, but to listen? I believe Obama will be that kind of president. Plus, he has a sense of humor. He has two young daughters and a working wife. He’s smart. And let’s not forget the magic. Nothing wrong with having the ability to connect with people around the world –young, old, and in-between.

In some ways an election is like life – a lot of muck comes your way. It’s hard sometimes to slog through it. It’s exhausting. It can be scary. You can feel like you’re drowning in it. You’ve got to work hard to pull yourself up and out of it, then to rise above it. We need a leader who can help us do that. That’s why I’m supporting Barack Obama.

All I ask is that you make an informed decision. It’s about the issues. It’s about health care, the economy, education, the environment, a woman’s right to choose, equal pay for equal work — it’s about who will be appointed to the Supreme Court, and it’s about never rushing into war again - not without all the facts, not without trying everything we can to prevent war first. This election is too important for all of us to decide in any other way.

Will this be another bad rap on the Democrat candidates?

frank6199@sbcglobal.net asked:


Disclosures today have shown the so called populist Obama, and his un truthful rival have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from sub prime lenders!!

Since Obama and Clinton have been railing on the sub primel loans given out to un qualified loan applicants and the banks they claim were one of the main reasons for all the home foreclosures does that make them hypocrites again?
Aw, who cares..It takes a lot of money to finance a campaign!!
