Probably the most common alternative to a foreclosure is a mortgage loan modification. This is a permanent solution for a homeowner who is unable to keep up with monthly payments.

Sometimes, a lender’s foreclosure lawsuit will be dismissed.

Mortgage lenders often hide features of the mortgage, such as the actual interest rate and the total fees they charge to process the loan. Individual states and the federal government consider these types of misleading behaviors predatory and prohibit them. If you were not provided with complete information or subsequently discovered you were subject to a much higher interest rate than you discussed with your bank, it can serve as the basis for appealing a foreclosure. If the bank officer put in writing the details of the mortgage, including the interest rate and any fees, check the details of the letter against the terms set out in the loan documents.
