Getting protection from foreclosure is neither an easy nor a slow process. From the day you receive a foreclosure notice in Missouri, you typically have around 21 days to make a decision about your home. While you could have more time in Illinois, nothing is guaranteed when it comes to foreclosure. If you've done any research at all you've probably come up with two possible solutions: Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Missouri and Illinois or Loan Modification. So, which one is better? Loan Modification has changed in the last year—and not for the better. A year or two ago, I may have recommended a loan modification for those who are in a temporary situation like a job change or small medical emergency that had adjusted their budget in the short term. Unfortunately, with the latest statistics, I wouldn't even feel comfortable doing that. America's largest lender hasn't been able to approve 96% of loan modification requests. Typically, you must first fall behind on your mortgage payment to even be eligible for the program. This has led to people purposefully falling behind on their mortgage in order to qualify. Since the waiting line for modification requests is so long, they are often so far behind by the time people are told that they can't get the mortgage modified that it is impossible to catch up. On the other hand, Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Missouri and Illinois gives homeowners a permanent solution to debt. Despite what it may seem like, many life events are not temporary and are actually the quickest way to find yourself in overwhelming amounts of debt. Even what seems like a small change in your budget could lead you down into the bottomless hole of debt. You may only be able to get out of debt by finding a solution that permanently handles your debt. A St Louis or Wentzville Missouri bankruptcy attorney can help you reorganize your debt, save your home, and get back on your feet. Bankruptcy is a very powerful federal law that forces your creditors to take less money over a longer period of time—and stops them from continuing to harass your family on the telephone and threatening to take your house and car.
