Question: My property has been
referred for
foreclosure. Is there anything I can do to stop the
foreclosure if don't have the full delinquent
amount?
Response: Yes, you can try to apply
for a
loan modification, which would allow you to possibly
lower the monthly payments without having to reinstate
the arrears (typically arrears get added to the unpaid
principal balance and that becomes the new principal
balance).
Modifying the loan is the most effective way of
saving the property without having to reinstate it.
Other alternatives require losing the property either
via short sale
or
deeding the property to the bank.

Filing Bankruptcy to Delay Foreclosure Auction
Question: My home will be going to
foreclosure auction in a week or so. In my paperwork
it states that lis pendens was filed. Can I file
bankruptcy now? If I can, will it help slow down the
foreclosure auction process?
Response: Yes, you can still file bankruptcy. Lis pendens is notice to the world that a party has an interest in the property, i.e. the bank is trying to foreclose. Lis pendens does not affect the filing of bankruptcy and by doing so, you will have 30 days of stay where the bank cannot foreclose and possibly longer if there will then be a subsequent delay by the bank to restore the auction.
