Dealing with Mortgage Payment Difficulties

When unforeseen financial circumstances impact your ability to make regular mortgage payments, it’s important for you to take quick action. With early intervention, cooperation, and a well executed plan, you can work together with your lender to find a solution to your financial difficulties.

What Can I Do to Help?

If you find yourself facing financial difficulties, as a result of job loss, family income reduction, or for other reasons, it can be an overwhelming experience leaving you feeling uncomfortable and unsure of what to do. By following these three simple steps, you can make a big difference in resolving your financial difficulties.

1. Talk to your lender

• To increase the chance of successfully managing your financial situation through early intervention, call your lender at the first sign of financial difficulty;
• Ask the lender about information on the options available for managing your financial situation; and
• Keep the lender informed as circumstances evolve.

2. Clarify the financial picture

In order to help your lender fully understand your financial situation, before meeting with your lender, prepare a detailed list of financial obligations including any credit cards, loans, household bills with the amounts owing and their due dates. Be sure to include information about your current income, savings accounts, investments, and any other assets.

3. Stay informed

The more information you have at your disposal on managing your finances, the easier it will be to make the right decisions.
