Tips from a Frugal Housewife

Today's tip is in regard to something that may be affecting you or someone you know, the big F; Foreclosure, something all homeowners dread. With the economy in distress, more and more homeowners are loosing the homes they have worked so very hard to acquire.

You may have heard of this already, but there is a new stall tactic for people who are at risk of loosing their homes to foreclosure, it is called "Produce the Note". It forces the bank to produce the original note for the loan, which if it (the Note or Loan) has been sold multiple times, can be impossible or at least take some time for the bank to produce. This can be the difference between keeping your home and loosing it.

I pray so hard that we don't ever have to face that. Since we are Katrina victims we were able to a mortgage through the SBA at a VERY low interest rate. I bet since it's the government, they've lost our note!

Great tip, Cheryl. I hope I never have to use it! I'll tuck this one in my memory bank ... which ironically is in better shape than my actual bank!
