Being able to stop foreclosure sale on your home is often the only thing on your mind when your home is facing foreclosure. But how, exactly do you stop it? How soon before the actual sale can you stop it? Where can you get help?

The first and most important step is to begin an open and honest clear dialog with your mortgage company. In the end, these are the people that you are going to have to talk to. They will be the ones that you have to try to negotiate with.

If they are unwilling to help you at all, you do still have options. Coming up with the entire amount due the mortgage company is always an option. You can find out the exact amount that you need to come up with by either trying to deal with the mortgage company directly or by filing an intent to cure (check to be sure that this is something that you can do in your state).

When you file an intent to cure, the mortgage company is required to submit to local authorities (in my case, the county) information about the exact amount necessary to bring the loan current. This amount will include late fees, attorney fees and other miscellaneous fees. In my case, I had until noon the day before the day of the sale to bring that amount to the county offices.

Another thing that you can do to try to stop foreclosure sale is to hire an attorney. An attorney may be able to get further with your mortgage company than you can.
