Columbus Short Sales: Don't Stress Out Over Financial Problems


Columbus OH – If you are in financial trouble, then I'm sure you're worried. Here are a few things I see people worry about that aren't as bad as they think.

Financial Worry #1: We could be forced to move out of our house at moment's notice. If you own your house, then I have some good news.

Most lenders are taking 6-12 months to file foreclosure. The debt collectors don't always tell you the truth. Many get paid bonuses based on how much they collect. That encourages them to stretch the truth.

They might tell you the foreclosure is going to be filed next month. Yes, even if it's not true. Here is the other good news. It can take months for a foreclosure to go thru.

The court system is bogged down. Judges are busy. The foreclosure lawyers are busy. This means it takes a long time for a lender to complete a foreclosure.

Financial Worry #2: I owe someone money. They could get a judgment against me and take away everything. Yes, they might very well be able to get a judgment against you.

However, many judges are dismissing these cases. You can't squeeze water out of a stone. You can't squeeze money from someone who doesn't have it.

Even if someone gets a judgment, they still have to collect it. Collecting on judgments is hard. That is why around 80% of all judgments are never paid off.

Even if they garnish your wages, many states have exemptions. You can contest the garnishment. You can file that you have children or a family to take care of.

Or, you have absolutely necessary bills (such as a car payment for a car to drive to work). You then show you aren't making enough money to pay the garnishment. The judge will often cancel the garnishment.

Financial Worry #3: A debt collector will take my dog, car, or garnish my wages. I remember hearing a caller on a national talk show. A debt collector had threatened to take away her dog.

She was scared they were going to. Here is the problem. Debt collection employees will use all kinds of threats. The problem is there are federal laws in place to protect the public.

These laws are called the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Threatening to take someone's dog is illegal. Thinking about a short sale?

Important Notice 


Rick & Robin Lemmons, Coldwell Banker King Thompson, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorsed by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
