This is a great article I found on ways you can renegotiate payments or terms for a temporary money problem.

Read and tell me what you think, I’ll give you my two cents at the end.

7 Ways to Renegotiate Your Mortgage Terms When You Can’t Pay

If your mortgage due date comes and goes and you’re unable to make
your mortgage payment due to a job loss or another situation beyond
your control, don’t pretend there isn’t a problem by ignoring it.

Pick up the phone and call your lender because they can probably help
protect your credit and keep you in your home.

Whether you’re late because of an unanticipated illness or because
you’ve been laid off from your job, one late payment isn’t the end of
the world, but communication with your lender is vitally important
because it demonstrates to them that you care about your credit and
making your payment.

When you call them, they’ll probably ask you if you just have a
temporary stoppage of income or if your financial situation has
changed. If you’ve lost your job, and future payments are in
jeopardy, let them know right away because there are some steps you
can immediately take to reduce or prevent the possibility of
foreclosure.

Depending upon what kind of loan product you’re in will determine
what steps your lender may or may not be able to take. If you have a
conventional conforming loan, some lenders may be able to begin
analyzing your financial situation and working out a solution that is
beneficial both to you and the lender. If your loan is in some way
government backed or insured, government rules may require you to be
90 days in arrears before your lender will be allowed to discuss
alternative options with you. Either way, you need to communicate
with your lender.

Here are 7 examples of what your lender may be able to do to help
you:

1. Waive late payment fees

2. Give you an extended period of time (perhaps as much in 12 to 24
months) to get caught up on your payment by adding a fraction of your
outstanding loan payment balance to your payment each month until you
can catch up

3. Accepting a partial payment

4. Moving your current payment to the end f your loan, allowing you
time to get your financial house in order

5. Granting you a separate interest-free or low interest personal
loan for the amount of your missed payment

6. Interest or principal reduction

7. Loan refinancing or re-amortization

Your lender doesn’t want your house ‘ they want your payment. While
they would prefer that your payment come in each month like
clockwork, lenders are very well aware of many of the financial
difficulties borrowers are having in making their mortgage payments.

Your lender probably won’t volunteer their assistance, especially if
they don’t know you’re experiencing problems making your payments.

All lenders don’t offer borrowers all of these options, but your
lender most likely has some of these available to help you out. You
do have to qualify for this help from your lender. You may be
required to provide proof of job loss, as well as a detailed
financial statement, but if it helps keep you in your house I think
it’s one of the smartest things you can do.

What do you think? Would you rather make a phone call or risk your
house?

SO what did you think? From my experience most of the banks don’t start talking to you till your late on your payments. I find this amusing because everybody tells you to contact the banks or creditors right away before your late to work out a solution on the loan, but you do need to communicate with them, and keep them informed.

The other problem the article just talks about rearranging debt to delay or move it to another time. There are other options if your facing foreclosure.

Always educate yourself so you understand what you are getting into and what options works best for you.

I’m telling you the investment in this guide to stopping foreclosure could save you thousands of dollars and /or 300-400 points on your credit rating, Go Now and get it before it is too late. www.stopbankforeclosurestips.com/foreclosure_guide.html
