About Me

My husband and I are both 35. We have two small children, ages 5 & 2. We are a military family in the midst of the foreclosure process.

Our Story:

Our family has been facing the idea of foreclsoure for the last year, but it has now come to decison time....

Our brief story......My husband is currently on Active Duty in the Air Force. In June 2006, we were sent (called a PCS in the Air Force) to Las Vegas, NV. At that time, we purchased a house for 455,000. This was well in our means and affordable. Nothing large, 4 bedroom 3 bath. It was next to impossible to even get a house at that time. We put 10% down plus an additional 50,000 to finish the house (it was new construction and needed landscape, window treatments ,etc.). Now, 3 years later, our house is worth 212,000 - we have no choice but to "walk-away" from our dream home.

This past summer we once again moved for the military. This time to Kansas. We knew our future looked dismal. Fortunately, we were able to get renters in our house; however, they were paying less then what we owed our mortage company monthly. These renters have turned out to be bad news. They have been late on payments and are now leaving our house. Now, unable to get renters, plus knowing that we can not afford the additional payment of 3,000./month, we have no choice put to walk-away.

We have tried everything else we know of. Over the past year, we have sent several "hardship letters" to the bank. All of which have been denied. In addition, we even "qualified" for the "loan modification program" from the government. However, after two weeks in the program we were sent a letter stating we were denied for no reason. What a joke that was:)

A couple of letters

We received quite a few letters the last couple of days from our bank.

1. A letter of acceleration. Basically saying we need to bring our loan current or they are going to accelerate the process to foreclosure. My understanding is that this letter is computer generated at 45/60 days late.

2. “Helping you stay in your home”. This has a “Making Homes Affordable” stamp on the outside of the envelope. The letter says that help is available, etc. I think this is also generated when you are late on your mortgage. We have already been denied by HAMP.

3. “Get help now”. This letter/brochure gives us a number to call for “customers just like you, who have both a first mortgage and a home equity with Wells Fargo”. I think this is their way of trying to squeeze some more money from us.

We are not going to call. There is nothing they can tell us or offer us that will help (other than decreasing our principal by 200k – which is never going to happen). We are still waiting for “Christopher” to call to found out if we can do a DIL.

Still no calls…….very strange…..
