Stop Foreclosure Answer

You may wonder why I am writing about a new horror movie, “Drag Me to Hell,” which opened in theaters on 5/29.

If you have looked at my website, www.stopforclosureanswer.com, you can see that I am not a fan of mortgage lenders. I have seen far too many instances where they have just zapped people on their mortgages. When people fall behind on their payments and face foreclosure, the people working for the lender frequently are rude and abusive with them. They don’t try to help them to take the steps necessary to protect their families and save their homes.

As the mortgage crisis has intensified the American public has started to become more aware of what is actually happening. All too frequently they have heard horror stories of people facing foreclosure because of crises in their lives. Their mortgage lender won’t do anything to help them. Total strangers have jumped in and offered their help. In the process the mortgage lender has modified their mortgages in the eleventh hour right before the people facing foreclosure have to give up and move from their homes.

This has caught the attention of Hollywood. “Drag Me to Hell” is a horror movie about the foreclosure crisis. A loan officer wants to get ahead at the bank at which she works. An old Slavic woman who is behind on her mortgage payments comes in to ask for an extension on her mortgage payments. The loan officer denies her extension and foreclosure is imminent. The old woman retaliates the only way she can. She places a curse on the loan officer.

I just love that. The movie does what I could never do. The old woman really sticks it to her loan officer. In addition to being a horror movie there are a lot of laughs.

If you are facing foreclosure, get the help you need to take control of the process and save your home. However, please don’t place a curse on your mortgage lender or any of their employees.

Much Success,
