When asked about foreclosure avoidance Household HSBC Watch, a US based consumer watchdog organization, has simple guidelines. Avoid Household International, HSBC, Beneficial Finance, Household Finance and Decision One Mortgage. When you finance or refinance with a lender that you like, include a page in the contract which forbids the lender (or broker) from selling your contract to any lender or servicer that has been charged with predatory lending, to include the famous and troubled predatory lender mentioned above. If the lender or broker refuses, reduce amounts on the good faith estimate, including loan origination fees and application fees, by 50 percent.
Once you have their attention and they know you are serious about protecting your credit and the future of your family, tell them you want a reduced interest rate if they will not agree to your terms. Tell them you are safeguarding your interests while guarding against predatory lending and possible future foreclosure due to circumstance beyond your control.
At some point in time it will become apparent that the company is willing to work with you or they are not looking out for your best interests. “This is extremely important when dealing with mortgage brokers, internet applications, and those who make cold calls” said Household - HSBC Watch. “Take the case of Emmco Mortgage and former Home Gold owners including Ronnie Shepard.”
