The rising levels of unemployment, slowing industrial growth, falling incomes and the sub-prime
crisis have led to an increase in the number of foreclosures ion the US housing industry.  The
home owners facing a foreclosure have to deal with their financial crisis on one hand and on the
other, guard themselves against rising incidence of frauds and scams related to foreclosure
market. Indeed, the number of frauds and scams related to foreclosure market have grown at a
disturbing pace in the very recent past.  Read on to protect yourself against this latest nuisance in
the real estate industry.

Perhaps the biggest and the most valuable advice is that one should not run away from the mails
and phone calls from the lending institute when one files a notice of default. In fact, you should
do exactly the opposite. Be upfront and transparent about the financial crisis that you are going
through with the lending institute. It is very probable that the lending institute restructures your
loan and provides you the necessary breathing space that you are looking for.  Make note of the
fact that the lending community are much more informed about the current state of economy and
would do whatever possible do help you get out of this difficult phase.  It is widely believed that
the best way to avoid trouble related to fraudulent companies and individuals working in the
foreclosure market is to work directly with the lending institute.

You would come across a number of advertisements in the media about how individuals and
companies shall work a miracle for you. Stay away from such companies. While it is important
that you do not approach any company who is more than willing to offer you help, it is equally
essential that you must not entertain any individual who knocks on your door step once you file
the notice of default. Make sure that such a stranger is not allowed inside thereby providing him
a chance to make you a victim of his false assurances, incorrect figures and misrepresented
claims. He will provide you a number of lucrative offers such as a reduced interest rate
and monthly payment but just do not fall for these tall claims. It is sure that he would collect a
service fee and repayment and would never come back to show his face again. They would ask you
to stay away from the lending institute which is exactly opposite of what is the right course.

There are a number of trustworthy and creditable sources which would give you professional
advice of dealing with this difficult situation. You could rely upon a number of certified counselors
appointed by the HUD who should be your first hope. The services offered by these counselors are
mostly free of cost and pretty effective.  It is in your interest to check the credentials of anyone
who approaches you uninvited and providing a remedy for your problem.
