Foreclosure Prevention Counseling

Understanding the Consequences of Foreclosure and How to Seek Help

Foreclosure is a serious matter with long-lasting effects on your financial well-being, credit score, and overall quality of life. If you are unable to make your mortgage payments, your lender may initiate the foreclosure process, which can result in the loss of your home.

In addition to losing your home, foreclosure can lead to legal fees, additional debt, damage to your credit score, and emotional distress.

Our Foreclosure Prevention Counselor will discuss the cause of your mortgage issues, review your finances, and decide on an action plan with you to help you meet your goals.

If you are worried about making your next mortgage payment, already missed a mortgage payment, or are already in foreclosure, don’t wait another day to contact NHSNB. The longer you wait, the fewer options you will have.
