Cash for Keys
In some situations when families are simply unable to continue paying mortgage, it may be possible to receive cash to help pay the relocation expenses of moving to a new home. Ask a NEW foreclosure prevention counselor about “Cash for Keys” programs.
You May Qualify for Compensation
If your home was involved in a foreclosure process in 2009 or 2010, you may qualify for compensation. Let NEW’s foreclosure counselors help determine if you are eligible for a free Independent Foreclosure Review. The Independent Foreclosure Review will determine whether individual borrowers suffered financial injury and should receive compensation because of errors or other problems during their home foreclosure process. For more information, call NEW’s foreclosure counselor at (213) 977-1089 x106 or visit www.independentforeclosurereview.com.
