Me and my Fiancee  have been in a battle  to save the roof over our heads for over a year. Every single time we tried to do what  we were told by the lender made things worse and they refused to take a mortgage payment even though we were trying to not get more in a hole with back payments.. it went from needing $ 10,000 thousand  dollars to reinstate  the loan to now somehow with all the fees and interest ballooned to $ 140 thousand 😳 

That's  downright criminal. 

The other issue is the original  loan is an FHA renovation loan which is included in the loan but finding  a 203k contractor  has been literally impossible.. I finally  found one that would  agree to do the work and the FHA people  involved  with the mortgage  company  said they can't  approve that person because  they have a bad track record of completing jobs in a timely manner !! I'm  like if that's the case why does that contractor still have a 203k license!! They don't  care and have done everything in their power to put roadblock after roadblock to steal the equity  and value of this property.  We were told they couldn't take any  payments till the forbearance was lifted and the construction was done.. then when the Forbearance was over with they immediately  started Foreclosure proceedings 😠..

This house is all we have.. we have no place to go if we lose it, we have 3 amazing  dogs  that I would  rather be living in a tent or my car than ever get rid of them.. dogs are family to me and are with me for life no matter  what. I ask with all my heart and soul for help .. even a dollar I will be eternally  grateful.. I wound up finding a lawyer that will help us.. but he needs a retainer of $2500 dollars  and then we'd make payments to him. I just started  working  again  so I am completely  broke till I get my first paycheck which won't be for a few more weeks. My fiancee  Bill works Hvac and does make decent money usually but  winter was not great for his job and his hours were way less than what they are in the summertime, so $2500 dollars is alot of money to us right now and impossible to scrounge up when we are living  paycheck to paycheck.  It humbles me to beg people for help and makes me feel awful but time is not on our side or  I would  just say let's sell stuff and save enough  for the retainer but the lender has a sheriff  sale scheduled for June 17th .. and the lawyer needs to get paperwork in sooner rather than  later to get  the ball rolling and help us save the roof over our heads .. please know I will pay it forward  every chance I get if someone  helped us. 

Thank you for hearing our story.. 

The picture is our three beautiful  dogs 

Anubis, Yoshi, and Keanu ❤️ 

 

*** Update ***

I found  a lawyer  that will work with us so we need a smaller  amount to start the paperwork and proceedings to stop foreclosure.
