Woody Allen—the famous writer, actor and director—once said,
“Eighty percent of success is showing up.” This statement is especially true
when it relates to foreclosure defense and showing up in court.
When you get your first foreclosure notice, it may seem like
the end of the world. Visions of shame,
horror, embarrassment and living on the streets may fill your mind. Take a deep breath. (Note- if you get a notice that says your
property is going to be sold on a specific date, stop reading the rest of this
article and speak to a bankruptcy/foreclosure defense attorney now.)
While your first reaction might be to ignore the situation
and hope that it works itself out, not showing up to court is the worst thing
you can do. You run the risk of having your foreclosure go through much more
quickly than if you had taken a few simple steps to slow the process down. So, when you get the foreclosure notice go
speak to a qualified bankruptcy and/or foreclosure defense attorney, but no
matter what, don’t miss that court date.
A bankruptcy attorney will be able to assist you in
preparing foreclosure defense and can potentially help save your home through
Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
