We're here to help you stay in your home.
OnPoint Community Credit Union offers dedicated support for members at risk of foreclosure. We provide resources, guidance on options like loan modifications and forbearance, and connect members with housing counseling to help them maintain homeownership and financial stability.
When facing the possibility of foreclosure, understanding your options is the first critical step. OnPoint Community Credit Union is committed to helping our members navigate these challenging circumstances. We recognize that financial difficulties can arise from various unexpected events, and our goal is to work collaboratively to find a viable solution. This often begins with an open discussion about your current financial situation and what led to the payment difficulties. We encourage members to reach out as soon as they anticipate or experience trouble making their mortgage payments. Early communication significantly increases the likelihood of finding a suitable resolution.
Our team at OnPoint Community Credit Union specializes in understanding the nuances of mortgage assistance programs. We can explain potential solutions such as loan modification, which involves changing the original terms of your mortgage to make payments more manageable. This could mean adjusting the interest rate, extending the loan term, or even reducing the principal balance in some cases. Another option is forbearance, a temporary pause or reduction in mortgage payments, which can provide much-needed breathing room during a period of financial distress. The right solution depends entirely on your specific circumstances, and our advisors are here to help you evaluate each one.
Beyond direct loan adjustments, OnPoint Community Credit Union also connects members with valuable external resources. We understand that our role is to be a partner in your financial well-being, and sometimes that means pointing you to specialized assistance. For example, we can guide you toward HUD-approved housing counseling agencies that offer free or low-cost advice on avoiding foreclosure. These agencies provide unbiased support and can help you understand your rights and responsibilities as a homeowner. Learn more about HUD-approved housing counseling agencies.
Taking proactive steps is essential when you are concerned about making your mortgage payments. The sooner you act, the more options may be available to you through OnPoint Community Credit Union.
