I have a neighbor who’s in default on her mortgage and spiraling (which I think is what happens when you begin to default) downward.

I noticed that Neighborhood Housing Services has a clinic coming up tomorrow:

but I don’t know the first thing about them. Are they going to have useful advice and assistance or are they going to sell her on a sketchy loan?

Does anyone have insights about their reputability? Other organizations she should reach out to?

Thanks.

  2. Is it the sort of place where she could take in a roommate? or two? Better to share a dwelling with semi-strangers than lose it and get bad credit in the meantime.

  3. Tell he to walk away! No Bullshit, just save her money until they put her out. Banks have stopped doing any “Work Outs’! Just leave and wait until you credit gets better….

  4. Neighborhood Housing Services is very legit. They’ve been around a long time, have branches all around the city, and have the support of elected officials, business people, lending institutions, etc. I think they’ve even won a couple of prestigious awards.

    They are also the people who sponsor first time homebuyer’s clubs, as well as the very popular (and great) home repair classes. They are grass roots good guys.
