Partial Mortgage Payments to Prevent Foreclosure

Question: Is it true that you can pay partial mortgage payments while your house is up for sale to prevent foreclosure?

I had someone tell me that I should be able to make partial mortgage payments and send my mortgage company a "hardship" letter to keep them from foreclosing on my house while I have it on the market trying to sell. Does anyone know much about this process? My mortgage company is the horrendous EMC Mortgage Co. - it doesn't get much worse than them.

Good Ways to Prevent Foreclosure

Question: Need help on a good way to prevent foreclosure?

I have a friend who has lived in her current home for over four years and was sold a Power Option loan, but was told it was an Interest Only loan. They are pretty much backwards on their mortgage and in major credit card/ car loan debt. I just found out that they will be losing their home to foreclosure at the end of the month, and they will file bankruptcy.

Is there a way we can help to keep their home from foreclosing? Any help, or tips is wonderful!

Answer: Bankruptcy should be a last resort. There are many ways to stall foreclosures or even have them thrown out. For example...
