Mortgage companies may be ready to deal rather than foreclose.

Mortgage companies who lend money to people with less than perfect credit and who provide 100% loans are now in financial trouble themselves because they have a significant number of customers who are facing foreclosure. The CEO of Countrywide Financial Corp. said the mortgage company industry is facing a “liquidity crises” because of the large number of foreclosures and the NYSE suspended the sale of stock in New Century Financial with foreclosures as an issue.

Homeowners may benefit from the mortgage company’s difficulties in some small way. It may be that lenders are less likely to start foreclosure procedures because they don’t need any more foreclosed houses at this time. Hence the homeowner may be in a better position to negotiate with the lender and avoid foreclosure. However, the homeowner should watch out and make a smart business move in deciding whether to save the house from foreclosure or let it go.

The loan for the car will appear on the cosigner's account as an account involved in a bankruptcy. If you plan to get rid of the car, look into selling the car to the cosigner at market value. Refinancing the existing loan in their own name counts toward the purchase price.
