Being in debt is no joke. Being in a financial bind is no longer so uncommon these days and more and more people are going through difficulties that may make them choose between putting food on the table and paying the amortization.
Fortunately, the government has protected you. Simply because you are in a tight fix does not mean that you will face foreclosure and bankruptcy. Here are some things that you can do to help yourself financially:
•If you still have a job but the cost of living and other debts are still swords over your neck, do not make the mistake of avoiding the amortization payments. That is the worst thing that you can do and it will drive you into more trouble. Instead, go to your lender, tell them about your problems and bring them documents that support your claims like the costs of living vs. your salary. The lender does not want to foreclose, remember that. They will offer you a way out by restructuring your loan so that the monthly payments will lower to fit your current status.
•If you think that another loan to consolidate your debts is possible, go to the lender and talk about loan consolidation. This is another loan that will award you a certain amount of money enough to pay off your existing loans. This will mean that you will be paying another set of monthly dues, but this time it will only be for one loan and this means lower payments.
•Another is to sell the mortgage to another lender. This can be done for the mortgage is an asset that can be bought and sold. Once a lender buys your mortgage, this will buy you time to settle your finances and consolidate. This will also mean paying for another loan, but this time it will be a new one and at a much lower rate.
There are options for you before things get out of hand. But it is up to you to make a move so you can take out another loan when you finances are in dire straits.
