Re: foreclosurelawsuit

There are steps to take in order for the Court to hear your side of the case. Mere hardship is not a reason for them not to foreclose on the property. There are several things you can do to work with the lender to keep the home,as well as delay the foreclosure or avoid some of the credit problems. Feel free to give me a call if you would like to discuss this further.
