How Will The Foreclosure Rate In 2010 Compare To The Foreclosure Rate In 2009?
Author : Jim Brown
After foreclosure rates in 2009 hitting a depressing high, many look to 2010 for hope. Unfortunately, that hope may be misplaced. Since the reports on loan modification approvals came in far below expectations and joblessness is still on the rise, it seems that we won't quite see a turn around in the market yet. In fact, it seems that the rate of foreclosures will continue to rise until it peaks in late 2010.
St. Louis foreclosure rates have been right along with the rest of the nation, with about 1,700 foreclosures in St. Louis city alone per month. A possible cause of our high number of foreclosures is that people are not aware that they have more options than loan modification or debt settlement. Many folks are applying for loan modification but are finding themselves unable to get approved. Only an alarming 4% of applicants for loan modification are seeing an approval. The worst part is that the lender may take 9 to 18 months to finally tell the other 96% of people "no." At that point, most people are too far behind on their mortgage to be able to catch up, leaving many without protection from a foreclosure that is knocking at their doors.
The good news is that there are more options than just loan modification. Bankruptcy attorneys in St. Louis or Wentzville, Missouri and Fairview Heights, Illinois are prepared to curb the foreclosure crisis with Missouri or Illinois chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy not only provides protection from foreclosure, but also helps families reorganize their debt. It allows you to keep the things that are most important to you safe and handles the rest of your debt, preventing your home from being sold at auctions and preventing your creditors from taking any further action against you.
How do you know when to file for bankruptcy or if you even should file chapter 13 bankruptcy? The best place to start is with free information from Missouri and Illinois bankruptcy lawyers in your area. While most attorneys offer a free consultation, the best attorneys offer free articles, blogs, bankruptcy faq, and even free books to help you understand bankruptcy and how it can help you. If you choose the best bankruptcy attorney, he or she should be more than willing to provide you with more than enough information about bankruptcy before you even speak with him or her. Any attorney who isn't willing to provide you with free information may not be willing to do the "extras" required in many bankruptcy cases too.
