HELP FOR OHIO HOMEOWNERS
FACING FORECLOSURE
Dear Medina County Residents,
We need only turn on the television at night to
hear that the foreclosure situation continues to escalate. There are many reasons
ranging from situations where people lost their jobs and could no longer pay the mortgage
to those that have been used by unethical lending institutions who have escalated payments
over and over. Whatever the cause, the bottom line is that across the country,
including Medina County, families are in trouble and need help.
For some, the help comes by way of a new job or
selling the house and paying off the debt. For others there are no easy ways out.
We are getting an increasing number of calls from homeowners who are at their wits'
end to find a solution. This has prompted me to have some of my staff to begin
attending state meetings about foreclosure. They have learned a lot and continue
learning all the time. I also have assigned a deputy auditor who is assigned
to work with homeowners who are in trouble. She will sit and talk with you and give
you some "next steps" that may help you steer through these muddy waters and
find some direction on what would work for you.
There is a secret to this, however. That
secret is to tackle the problem as fast and as aggressively as possible. Don't wait
until you have missed several payments. The minute you know you are headed for trouble,
call my office. We will set up an appointment with our deputy auditor and begin
helping you deal with your problems. There ARE answers in many cases---but the
faster you deal with the problem, the better the chances are that you will find a
solution.
Call my office at one of the numbers below and ask
for Nancy. She will set up an appointment for you. There are no costs for our
services. Why not call and see if we can help?
