“Saving a home from foreclosure requires fast and informed action but the solution doesn’t need to be costly,” announced Fed Reserve Governor Elizabeth A Duke. “It should not hurt to get help.” There are several foreclosure guides available online which assist the homeowner in understanding their options to avoid foreclosure.
Many solicitors of foreclosure schemes reach out to potential victims by a selection of means using the Net, the telephone, and direct mailings. Some solicitors go door-to-door or approach owners at events related to home preservation. The information the Fed Reserve is providing, which is part of its “5 Tips” series, is designed to give purchasers the basic information they need to recognize and prevent foreclosure avoidance scams. Shoppers are urged to check the certifications of advisors and to avoid working with someone that collects a fee before providing any services or accepts payment only by cashier’s check or wire transfer. Clients shouldn’t pay for a service without knowing exactly what they are buying.
Avoiding foreclosure cannot be guaranteed–regardless of the circumstances. Working with a valid counselor can increase the chances of keeping a home, but consumers should be wary of folks that tell them it is a sure thing. Details of the transaction, together with any promises, should be provided up front and in writing.
