Many people in our community are worried about foreclosure. Where can people turn to for help or information?
A. People concerned about foreclosure can contact a free 24-hour Arizona Foreclosure Prevention Hotline to obtain information and get connected with local community resources. Residents can reach the hotline at 877.448.1211. The hotline is administered by Community Information and Referral, a United Way partner, and is expected to be available from June through November. Callers are transferred to one of the 13 state-approved mortgage counseling services, which can offer advice and services for local residents.
Call your lender (or answer the collection calls) directly and work with them. If you get someone nasty, hang up and call back. Don’t pay anyone to modify your loan unless you can’t handle making a phone call to your lender every week and providing the documentation they need. If you need further assistance, call HUD directly for a list of non-profit counselors who can assisst you. 866.359.7363 Or just go to hud.gov to find the number if it changed.
