While the economy is going strong, the mortgage lenders are happy to lend whatever you want. It often translates to many times of your annual salary – or whatever their lending criteria is. But even the slight rise in interest rates makes your job vulnerable. Compound that with any pending divorce, sickness or any thing else and problems compound.

I you are one of those unfortunate ones to have receive such notices then make sure not to give in so easily. Here are some pointers that may help: 1. Give your mortgage company a call In my experience it is possible to work out a deal with your lender even at a last minute. They may be able to look into possibilities they have not looked into before – whether it is about lending you further money to clear your debts or a new payment plan. Even if you have been asked to appear in court for the proceedings to start, it is still possible to stop the repossession order. It is not all over yet. 2. Preparation If you do have to go to court, make sure you are fully prepared. Keep copies of all the letters and other correspondence you have had with the mortgage company, work out a detailed daily expenditure that shows where you can save money so that you can begin paying your debts and be ready to explain to the court why you are in payment difficulties in the first place. You may even have a plan on how you are planning to sell your house quickly for cash, if need be. The court may grant an adjournment or delay the repossession order if you can show that you are prepared to take your financial responsibilities seriously. 3.
