Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 12, 2005 -- In Part I of this article, we covered a few ways to avoid foreclosure and unscrupulous, unethical mortgage lenders that might take advantage of consumers. The first step was not to ignore the notices since that does not stop foreclosure. After contacting the mortgage company to arrange ways to repay the arrearage, attempting to borrow from friends or family, and attempting to work out an ethical and affordable loan from a lender, and not able to do so, there are other foreclosure options to try. With facts to stop foreclosure, an educated decision can be made to keep or sell your home.

Homeowners with FHA loans have additional foreclosure options. There are important factors to consider before DIL (Deed-In-Lieu, voluntary conveyance of title to the lender). If your bank accepts DIL, it is better on your credit than foreclosure. Partial claim could be good if keeping your home. It is without interest, but adds a lien to property and needs to be repaid when sold or first mortgage is paid off. Be sure to ask questions such as: 1. Are VA benefits accessible during that time? 2. How long will it take to resolve the issue at hand? 3. Is another VA loan possible? 4. Ask about programs that offer financial help for your specific situation and their hidden side effects. 5. Get it in writing before signing any agreements. Homeowners with FHA insured loans can get details at http://www.hud.gov/foreclosure/index.cfm.

www.govbenefits.gov helps citizens access government benefit eligibility information through a free, confidential, and easy-to-use online screening tool. After answering some basic questions, the user receives a customized report listing the benefit programs for which the user, or person for whom he or she is entering information, may be eligible." This is a very useful tool for finding foreclosure help.
