You better find out now!
Imagine pulling up to your driveway with your kids laughing in the backseat, having come home from a baseball game, to see a foreclosure notice tacked on your front door. Maybe all of your belongings have been tossed out onto the street. You are in shock. It doesn’t make sense. There must be a mistake. Why is the bank taking your house? Your home was your security, your retirement. It was the American dream. You had played by the rules. It’s where your children have been growing up. Their smiling faces hang in the beautifully framed photographs on your hallway walls and are carefully placed on your fireplace mantle. Now, incredibly, suddenly, without warning, your entire world has been ripped apart, shattered.
Despite having never missed a mortgage payment and even paying early, the bank is coming to take away your home. They are coming to throw you out onto the street. Panic, disbelief—a tidal wave of emotions nearly knock you over as your heart beats faster and faster. The walls start closing in around you. You cannot breathe. The clock is ticking. Why is the bank coming to take away your house? You did everything you were told to do. Where will your children sleep in a few weeks from now?
Think this can’t be you? Oh no, think again. This nightmare has been occurring across the country for years. As the Wall Street Journal’s Alan Zibel reported, bank files show that more foreclosure errors are happening than regulators have reported to the public.
