Personalized Assistance: If you are behind on your mortgage and need assistance, you can call the Homeowner’s Hope Hotline at 1-888-995-HOPE or United Way’s 2-1-1 to contact a certified housing counselor. They can help you figure out which options are available and best suit your needs.

Beware Of Foreclosure Scams — Help Is Free! Scam artists are stealing millions of dollars from distressed homeowners by promising immediate relief from foreclosure, or demanding cash for counseling services when HUD-approved counseling agencies provide the same services for FREE.

If you receive an offer, information or advice that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don't let them take advantage of you, your situation, your house or your money.

You can report the possible scam by calling 1-888-995-HOPE.
