How do you stall foreclosure?

You can stall a foreclosure. If you negotiate with the lender for a short sale, the lender may hold back on the foreclosure process to allow you to complete the short sale. You can also challenge the foreclosure process in court. If there are any irregularities in the foreclosure process initiated by the lender, the court can stall the foreclosure. You should ask the lender to produce the original note. Often the lender initiating the foreclosure is not the original lender. Most lenders sell the mortgage to other lenders and institutions. It is the subsequent lender who generally initiates the foreclosure. Often the subsequent lender may have problems producing the original note. Sometimes it can take months to produce the original note. Filing for bankruptcy also stalls the foreclosure. Negotiations with the lender can also buy you time. For an official opinion, it is advised you seek legal counsel.

How do you know if collection agency is going to take your taxes?

i don't think a collection agency is entitled to collect money from your tax refund. First of all the only entities that I have ever known to be able to do so is the government.

if you owe state income tax or if you owe for food stamps or past due student loan debts. those are the people who can take your taxes. otherwise the only thing left for them to do is garnish your wages and that would have to be done through court first and you would have to be notified FIRST and given the opportunity to defend yourself in court. So if it ever comes to that GO TO COURT don't be afraid show the most desperate situation that you do not have the ability to pay back and maybe the judge will sympathize with you otherwise pay attention to your mail and never lose a piece of mail it allows you to read and see what is going on Good luck.

Distinguish between debt forgiveness and debt retirement?

Debt retirement refers to the paying off of a debt in order to avoid future interest payments, this can only be done if the current funds available are able to clear the outstanding balance of the debt.

Debt forgiveness on the other hand can be considered to be an amnesty by lending institution for countries who are heavily indebted, this is usually done to help alleviate the debt burden faced by such countries.

Therefore the difference between debt retirement and debt forgiveness is that one is paid off by the country who is able to pay off the debt and the other is an amnesty given to remove the debt for countries who cannot afford to pay it off.

How damaging is a collection charge off?

Short Answer. Very damaging.

I don't know the exact numbers for a charge-off but I do know that FICO recently revealed how their damage points work on some other items.

For example, if you have 680 credit score and have a 30 day late payment, your score will drop 60 - 80 points. If your score if 780, it will drop 90 - 110 points.

That's quite a bit. And I know that charge offs are viewed much worse.

Generally no, unless you can prove that the oral contract included interest to be paid. It's going to be difficult enough to prove an oral contract existed if the person you are suing denies that such contract was ever made. If you have witnesses to the fact, this helps, otherwise it is going to end up being your word against theirs and depending on the judge, the outcome may not be favorable.

Can i get a loan after a foreclosure?

Foreclosure can ruin your credit. When you apply for credit, lenders will look at your credit report. Foreclosure stays on your credit for 7 years. However this does not mean that you cannot get credit after foreclosure. You may not get credit immediately after foreclosure. However if you have taken steps to repair your credit immediately after foreclosure, lenders will be willing to consider your application positively. But you may have to pay more interest and provide collateral. Lenders understand that people go though financial up and downs. You must show that you have learned from your past financial mistakes. Even if you the general banks and lenders are reluctant to lend to you, there are lenders who specialize in lending to individuals who have been in foreclosure.

Can a someone that has received a judgment against you levy your bank account and If so how much money can the creditor take at one time and Is a new levy required each time to get additional funds?

There are some cases where your bank account can be taken for the payment of debts owed, notably the IRS, Student Loans and Child Support. There may be private lenders who can do this, too.

What you will need to do is to either consult with an attorney in your area, to get answers that apply specifically to your situation, or consult with your local bank representative. Or both.

Meanwhile, you may wish to keep only a minimal balance in there, say of $5. And you may wish to have your company no longer direct deposit into that account. Nor have other creditors automatically remove your payments to them each month.

Inconvenient, but it may save you some hassle if things go south.
