Helpful Tips to Protect You from Mortgage Modification and Foreclosure Avoidance Scams
Scams that promise to “rescue” you from foreclosure are popping up at an alarming rate nationwide, and you need to protect yourself and your home.
If you’re falling behind on your mortgage, others may know it, too — including con artists and scam artists. They know that people in these situations are vulnerable and often desperate. Potential victims are easy to find: mortgage lenders publish notices before foreclosing on homes. Private firms frequently compile and sell lists of these foreclosed properties and distressed borrowers.
Always proceed with caution when dealing with anyone offering to help you modify your mortgage or avoid foreclosure. Remember that you do not need a third party to work with your lender. Here are some tips to help you avoid being scammed:
*Contact your lender or mortgage servicer first.
*Make all mortgage payments directly to your lender.
*Avoid paying significant, up-front fees.
*Don’t sign anything you don’t fully understand.
*Do not sign over your deed without first consulting a lawyer of your choice.
*Get promises in writing.
