Five Things you Need to Know About Home Foreclosure

Finance News | Posted by admin
Jun 21 2011

When you take out a loan for a home, the mortgage lender considers your home to be collateral for that loan. That is why the lender can foreclose if you default on your payments. There are five things you must know about home foreclosures.

First, you should know when your lender plans to begin the home foreclosure process. Each bank or lending institution has its own procedure, so give them a call and find out the particulars.

Second, you should find out how long the foreclosure process takes. Again, each lender works differently. In some cases, it will take six months or less. Other lenders might take up to a year to process a foreclosure.

Third, you should understand your alternatives. You may be able to work out a compromise with your lender that will allow you to remain in your home.

Fourth, you should have a personal contact at the lender’s office. There are several departments involved throughout the home foreclosure process, so it helps to have someone in-house to help you keep track of where you are in that process.

Fifth, you must review and understand any paperwork that you receive. Consult your own attorney who is experienced in foreclosures.

Should Annuity Proceeds Recently Received Be Included As Income In Chapter 13 Payment Calculation?

Finance News | Posted by Kiara Withers
May 06 2011

A prospective Chapter 13 bankruptcy client currently makes about $30,000 per year salary. He wants to file bankruptcy as soon as possible to stop an ongoing lawsuit. Based on his salary alone, he would make relatively minimal payments to his Chapter 13 plan and over the five year plan would pay about 20% of his unsecured creditors.

Many years ago this person won a personal injury law suit resulting in a structured settlement in the form of an annuity contract with a national insurance company. Three months ago he received the final annuity payment of $40,000. He asked whether the annuity payment will be treated as income for the purpose of determining the Chapter 13 plan payment. If included as income, his plan payment would increase substantially but he would not have any future annuity payments forthcoming to help pay the higher plan payment.

The annuity is an exempt asset. Florida statutes, and Florida case law, also exempt annuity proceeds even after the annuity proceeds are received and deposited in a financial account. The annuity and the proceeds would be exempt if the debtor filed Chapter 7.

The annuity payment three months prior to bankruptcy should not be treated as income. It is not a recurring payment. There will be no future annuity receipts during the Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

California Foreclsoure Evictions and You

Finance News | Posted by admin
Apr 27 2011

For those of you that are not sure what a California foreclosure is, it is when a homeowner is not able to make principle and interest payments on their monthly mortgage. As a result, the mortgage company will take the property and sell it, which will be stated in the mortgage contract when the homeowner first signs it. This type of foreclosure varies among lenders; it all depends on each individual situation. 

As a homeowner, it is totally up to you if you would like to sell or keep your home during the California foreclosure process. If you prefer not to keep your home, it will actually be sold before it reaches the foreclosure process. The big advantage you will get from the home being sold before it reaches foreclosure is not receiving a foreclosure judgment on your credit rating. This works well for both parties because the lender is able to sell the home and the borrower can receive future financing without any negative ratings on their credit. This type of foreclosure is normally available to homeowners who have a great deal of equity available in their home. Homeowners are able to get back the equity they invested into their homes, so they will not leave this foreclosure process empty handed.

California Foreclosure – What are the Banks Doing?

Finance News | Posted by admin
Apr 21 2011

Besides a lot of things wrong the banks are doing very little to help homeowners avoid California foreclosure. 

They were given millions or even billions of dollars to help stem the tide of foreclosures that were recognized from the very beginning. Money they used to pay their executives extravagant bonuses. 

They were given directives from the US Government to modify loans to help people save their homes. While they did make a half-hearted effort their programs were never really set up of for success. They never bothered to staff up enough to handle the sheer volume of requests. This is cause for endless delays and lost documentation which pushes most homes to mature into the final phases foreclosure before the homeowner is given a final answer. 

What happens next, the homeowner is denied a loan mod–which in many cases they never qualified for in the first place but the bank failed to inform them of this in a timely manner–and now they are left with little or no time to pursue another option.

Homeowners facing California foreclosure who are thinking about or in the midst of a loan modification should research bankruptcy as a back up plan. Should you end up being denied you can be fully prepared to step directly into the bankruptcy process and stop the foreclosure of your home.
