Foreclosure Counseling

Scam artists know how stressful it is to face the possibility of foreclosure and how vulnerable homeowners are to any option that might help them hold onto their home. That’s why they deliberately structure their scams as “rescue” offers. Our trusted housing counselors can help you protect yourself and your finances, while providing guidance on your actual options for holding onto your home.
