Protect Your Home from Foreclosure

 

Things You Should Know

 

There are options available to you to help you avoid the start of a foreclosure action. As you know a foreclosure will damage your credit rating, and your ability to borrow money at a decent interest rate in the future.

​

As your Credit Union, we are aware of the challenging economic conditions many individuals and families are facing today in meeting their financial obligations. If you are facing difficulties making your mortgage loan payment at Santa Ana Federal Credit Union and/or at a different lender, our recommendation is to take immediate steps to contact this lender. The longer you wait to contact your lender the more difficult it becomes to stop the foreclosure process.

​

At Santa Ana Federal Credit Union (and with other lenders) we want to work with you to ensure you can keep your house than go through the process of a costly foreclosure.

If you are facing delinquency and would like to discuss available options, the following financial documents are necessary to start our discussion with you:

​

Most recent pay stubs

Most recent W-2 tax statement

Most recent bank statement

A written statement explaining your financial hardship

A written financial statement detailing your income and expenses

​
