I attended a seminar/discussion of the Home Counseling Department which is the support system for Washtenaw County. If you are a homeowner and concerned about your home payments, understand there are people who will assist you.

Kathy Grant is with Michigan State University Extension as a certified Housing Counselor and her office will council homeowners to assist in loan modification or help you to prepare a hardship letter for your creditors. The worse thing you can do is: NOTHING.
