If you are eligible to file, Bankruptcy will stop foreclosure, but Texas homeowners do have bankruptcy alternatives when facing foreclosure. You could try to refinance, but it’s fair to say that the lenders who were so eager to give easy money mortgages have now tightened their standards. These same lenders who got you into these mortgages will probably do little to get you out of foreclosure. These lenders are now asking for more detailed financial documentation, larger down payments, and better credit from potential borrowers. Imagine what they will want from you. And, if you are looking to refinance with them when you are in foreclosure, you may need a miracle. This isn’t to say that all lenders will run the other way when you’re in financial trouble. Some mortgage lenders do offer ways to keep you in your property and may work with you even if they have initiated foreclosure proceedings against you. That’s because the lenders don’t really want your home, they just want the money. If they take your home back they more often than not, lose much more money. So before you consider bankruptcy, ask your lender if they will they allow you to do a workout, a forbearance agreement, a loan modification, or move the past due payments to the end of the mortgage?
If you are behind on your mortgage and are facing foreclosure, you are not alone. Every month in Texas, of homeowners throughout the State of Texas face foreclosure, many are posted for foreclosure because of late payments on interest only loans, 100% financing, adjustable rate mortgages, and other easy money mortgages. Some Texas homeowners who aren’t up for foreclosure yet may be facing foreclosure in the near future. Since the Texas housing market may soon be cooling, many Texas homeowners who encounter divorce, loss of employment, medical illness, or other financial difficulty might not be able to tap into their home equity if they need to. They may instead be missing mortgage payments, credit card payments, and car payments, defaulting on their mortgage loans and heading towards foreclosure. This may happen because the interest rate on an adjustable-rate loan resets, a balloon note on a mortgage has become due, or an interest only note has converted. Since the advent of the subprime fallout, many mortgage lenders have become much more conservative, which equates to making it harder to get money when you need it.
