Loan Modification Attorney Watonwan County, MN (Minnesota)

This blog is to inform those of you in Watonwan County, MN who are looking for guidance when searching for a legit loan modification third party negotiator. So many homeowners are being taken advantage of or being ripped of by companies who portray themselves to be something they're not. The fact of the matter is that 75% of loan modification companies are either scam artists or inexperienced and misleading. Your best bet is to stay clear of these so called "loan modification companies" or "attorney-based loan modification companies" and seek help from a licensed Attorney.

Even finding an Attorney who is affordable and have some sort of money back guarantee can be a task in itself. Aside from that, it's important the Attorney you choose has relationships with with lenders and are experienced in negotiating with them. Your Attorney also has to be familiar with your state's laws, regulations, and guidelines that pertain to your rights as a homeowner. Most banks lend money on a national basis. If you are looking for a Loan Modification Attorney in Watonwan County, MN (Minnesota), you can rest assure your search is not limited to just Watonwan County. Reportedly, as of August 1, 2009, there were 7 foreclosures and foreclosure filings combined in Watonwan County, MN. Compared to the nation's millions, this is a very small number. If you choose a local Attorney their contact with the lenders are minimal. To have an Attorney that can provide nationwide assistance is powerful. Most likely, if you choose an Attorney or Law Firm provides loss mitigation services on a national level, the lenders deal with them on a regular basis and are familiar with them more so then a small local Attorney. Therefore, you will end up with more favorable results.

Most distressed homeowners are in desperate need of help, and doing this sort of research is overwhelming. So what I have done is my own research on individual Attorneys to ensure they are established and reputable.

I have complied a handful of Attorneys and Law Firms who:

1. Are in good standing with the Bar Association
2. Are actual licensed Attorneys who will be representing you and negotiating for you.
3. Have proof of success
4. Have passed my legitimacy test (scam free, and researched thoroughly through reliable resources.)
5. Have reasonable fees
6. Have the clients best interest in mind
7. Are structured and organized
8. Are in compliance with federal regulations and guidelines
9. Are helping homeowners in Watonwan County, MN

As you can see this takes a lot of footwork and many hours to develop. Each Attorney or Law Firm is unique in their own way and offer different services and have variable, but affordable fees.

What I will do is discuss with you one on one about your unique situation. I will then determine your eligibility, and will decide which one of these reputable Attorney's will suit your specific needs. Once you are on board with a specific Law Firm, (which I will help you with) you and I will stay in contact throughout the entire process if you wish. I do not charge a fee to provide this information to you. I am so fed up with all of the scams. I am a Christian and feel it is my personal duty to stand up for the people and provide honest answers.

I have compiled many blogs which provide valuable information for homeowners in need of assistance. I feel consumers are entitled to ample information when making a decision that involves their most valuable asset, their home.

Bankruptcy is the worst option. Avoid it at all costs if you can.You prloabby can not get rid of all of your debts all at once, but you may be able to do it in a short period of time. Of course that depends on the amount of debt and your income.You can jump start your payoff by having a garage sale and selling anything that you no longer use and you should consider getting a temporary part time job until you get everything paid off. Here is a plan that will help you. If you work the plan, the plan will work for you:1. Make a budget. Make the budget a week before you get paid. A budget is not a punishment! It is a tool which will free you from ever having to worry about money again. Put everything in your budget. Especially those annual, biannual, or quarterly bills like car registration, insurance, etc. Give every dollar you are going to bring home the name of where it is going. Add an "emergency fund" category to your budget for 25 dollars and save up until you have 1000-1250 dollars. Your emergency fund will help keep you from getting into new debt because of an emergency. If you can, set up a direct transfer to a savings account for your emergency fund. That way it moves automatically and you don't even have to worry about it. You must cut your spending and live on less than you make.2.First get current on all of you debts and make no more late payments. Stop using your credit cards immediately. Do not take on any more debt. Credit cards are like quicksand only the death is much slower. Make a list of all of your debts in order of highest interest rate to lowest interest. Use cash only for your spending from now on.3.Pay the minimum due on all of your debts and then put your extra money towards paying off the highest interest one first. After you get that one paid off, you put the money you were paying on debt #1 (the minimum payment and the extra payment) towards debt #2. That will pay debt #2 off faster. When that is paid off, you put all three payments towards card #3 and that one will be paid off pretty quickly. As an example:To start :Debt #1 (highest interest): minimum payment+ extra paymentDebt #2 (middle interest): minimum paymentDebt #3(lowest interest): minimum paymentDebt #1: paid offDebt #2: minimum payment from Debt #1+ Minimum payment from Debt #2 +extra paymentDebt #3: minimum paymentDebt #1: paid offDebt #2: paid offDebt #3:Mimimum payment from card #1+ minimum payment from Debt #2+ minimum payment from Debt #3+ extra payment.That way, you will get them all paid off, on time, and pay the least interest. It will also help towards rebuilding your credit since you will no longer have any late payments. This works no matter how many different debts you may have.4. After you get all of your debts paid off, add to your emergency fund until you have 6-12 months of income saved up. Put that emergency fund money into a liquid money market fund or into a Bank of America no-risk CD so that if you need the money you can take it out without penalty.5a. When you have your emergency fund in place, add a category for "fun" to your budget. Save for a holiday, a vacation, a big screen, or dinners out, whatever goal you want. Remember to enjoy your life.5b. When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for your retirement. Join the 401(k) plan at work and contribute the maximum. Your employer prloabby matches at least part of your contribution so why give up free money? Open a Roth IRA and contribute the maximum on a monthly basis. If you start saving for your retirement now, you will prloabby retire a millionaire.5c. When you have your emergency fund in place, start saving for your next car. Only buy cars, or other things that depreciate, with cash. Save up for a nicer car. That way you get the interest instead of paying the interest.References :
