Welcome back!
Creditors can seem like bullies, can’t they? When you are having financial problems, the last thing you need is to deal with harassing creditor calls. It’s important that you know your rights. Just because you are having financial problems doesn’t mean you are a second-class citizen.
Working with and being cooperative to your creditors is in your best interests when your mortgage is in arrears but this doesn’t mean you have to be bullied. Depending on where you live there are conduct standards for lenders and collection agencies so be sure you know your rights based on where you live so that you won’t be strong armed by creditors.
When it comes to losing your home due to foreclosure, you want to avoid that if possible so work with your creditors to rectify your situation but know your rights so that you can ensure you are treated fairly and within the scope of the law.
