Ask the lender for original mortgage note, this may be the foreclosure stopper.

A study made by University of Iowa in 2007 concluded that companies servicing mortgages are often negligent when it comes to producing the documentation to support foreclosures. The study of 1700 bankruptcy cases stemming from home foreclosures found that 40% of the time the original mortgage note was missing along with other required documents.

Asking a judge to compel production of hard-to-find or non existent documents can delay foreclosure. Using this tip the homeowner buys some time and renegotiate the mortgage.

Way this is happening?

The past decade of real estate business frenzy generated by low interest rates and easy to lend procedure produced new security instruments. Mortgages were sold and resold, bundled into new financial instruments named securities and sold to investors around the world.

Today lawyers, homeowners and advocates advice for produce-the-note strategy.

  1. The recent President' $75 billion plan is design to help people renegotiate for new mortgages. Home owners who haven't yet fallen behind on payments are most likely to be helped. The plan pursue keeping the mortgage' rate low for most new loans. Reforms are considered to help families avoid foreclosures.

    The government will continue to support changing bankruptcy rules so judges can reduce mortgages on primary homes to their fair market value, as long the borrower sticks to a court-ordered repayment plan.

    The Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve will continue to buy $200 billions Fannie May and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities to keep the markets working and recover from this real estate crisis and economic depression.

    More financial discipline is needed starting at family level and going up to the top financial institutions.
