The foreclosure rate in our area has historically been high. While statistics from Indiana University show a slight decline in recent years, many people continue to struggle. Through no fault of your own, you may be having problems making timely mortgage payments. Common causes include:Â
Falling behind even one month on your mortgage can create serious problems. To protect yourself, reach out to our foreclosure defense lawyers in Merrillville right away.Â
Once you miss a single mortgage payment, it is considered a default and you begin racking up heavy penalty fees. This can cause you to fall behind even further. By the third month of missed payments, your lender will likely send a demand letter, giving you thirty days to get caught up. If you fail to do so, they have the right to repossess your property and sell it via foreclosure.Â
At Whitten & Whitten, we help prevent this from happening. Steps our foreclosure defense lawyers in Merrillville can take on your behalf include:Â Â
In some cases, the best course of action may be to file a petition through the Illinois chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Filing for bankruptcy can put an immediate stop to foreclosure while allowing you to renegotiate payment plans and eliminate other debts.Â
