Recover Your Credit Quickly

Many don’t understand that it is not the filing of a bankruptcy that hurts their credit.  It is generally the poor payment history or financial difficulty that made them consider bankruptcy..

Affording The Mortgage

No matter how good your credit score becomes or how little you owe in debt, you will never be able to purchase a home unless you can show you can afford the mortgage payment.

Loan Modification

These agreements change the terms of the old mortgage. Frequently, the interest rate can be modified and the delinquent amount of the loan added to the outstanding amount.
