Do You Need Foreclosure Prevention Assistance? We Can Help. Contact Us

If you need Foreclosure Prevention Assistance, we can help you prevent foreclosure. Have you missed payments on your mortgage loan? Are you facing foreclosure? You’re not alone and you may still have options. If you’re looking into how to avoid foreclosure, contact our Company, GVCPS.

We specialize in providing immediate monthly cash flow management solutions to unmanageable or unwanted mortgage payments along with protecting any equity you may have in the property and protecting your credit. Unexpected financial circumstances can happen to anyone and we can can help you prevent foreclosure.

When you default (don’t make a payment) on your mortgage, you don’t automatically lose the property. If you miss a payment, your mortgage lender has the right to accelerate (speed up) the mortgage contract (terms of the mortgage).

This allows your lender to claim the full mortgage balance you owe plus interest and other costs, even though the mortgage term hasn’t yet expired. Your lender can use the legal process of foreclosure to repossess (take back) the property or sell the property to pay the mortgage debt.

As soon as you miss a payment, most lenders act quickly. They often send a reminder letter first. If they don’t hear from you or if your lender doesn’t receive your missed payment(s), your lender’s next step is to send you a demand letter. In BC, your lender or their lawyer must send you a demand letter before starting foreclosure proceedings.

If you have  received a demand letter and are facing foreclosure or if you are having difficulty making your payments, we can provide immediate solutions. Here are some ways we can help:

  • Our mortgage professionals understand the stress and hassles that you face when you are experiencing difficulty making your mortgage payments. We can help you get your payments back on track and to find a solution with your mortgage lender.
  • We can provide you with immediate monthly cash flow management solutions to unmanageable or unwanted mortgage payments along with protecting any equity you may have in the property and protecting your credit.
  • We can help you reinstate the mortgage and bring your mortgage back into good standing with your lender.

Facing foreclosure can be an overwhelming experience leaving you feeling uncomfortable and unsure of what to do. You don’t have to face foreclosure alone. We have been providing foreclosure prevention solutions to clients for 25 years.

If you need to avoid foreclosure, we take over house payments and the property associated with it. We provide flexible, pre-negotiated Terms that can give you the best value for your property and can provide you with more money with none of the hassles normally involved in selling.

In most cases, we take over the entire mortgage payment as well as all of your other monthly financial obligations regarding the property on your behalf that may include; property taxes, property insurance, monthly strata fees as well as any repair or maintenance costs.

Prevent Foreclosure Proceedings Going to Supreme Court

If you don’t do what the demand letter asks, your lender can start foreclosure proceedings in BC Supreme Court by filing a petition against you. You may want to just ignore the demand letter, but be sure you know what the consequences are first. Doing nothing has serious consequences. Your mortgage lender can use the legal process of foreclosure to repossess (take back) the property to sell the property to pay off your mortgage debt.

The longer you wait to take action if you are having problems making your mortgage payments or if you have already missed a payment, the less options you will have available to you to prevent foreclosure.

How the Supreme Court Action Starts Against You with Foreclosure

  1. If you can’t reinstate or redeem your mortgage, your lender can start a court
    action to foreclose on your mortgage. This usually happens after you’ve missed
    three months of payments, however, it can happen sooner.
  2. To start the court action, your lender’s lawyer files a petition in a Supreme
    Court registry and registers a certificate of pending litigation in the land title
    office. If the property is located where there is a Supreme Court registry, your
    lender’s lawyer must file the petition in the local registry, unless you agree to
    a different court registry.
  3. If this isn’t the case, they must still file at a registry within the local judicial
    district. This is called the local venue rule. This rule prevents, for example,
    Vancouver-based lawyers from starting foreclosure actions in Vancouver when
    the property is in Kelowna or Prince George, without your consent.

The petition in foreclosure proceedings contains a list of what your lender wants the court to do, including:

  • Confirm that the mortgage and the debt exist.
  • Confirm the amount you owe, including principal plus daily interest, legal
    costs, and other costs.
  • Set the length of time you have to redeem your mortgage.
  • Grant a personal judgment for the mortgage debt (and in some cases
    unsecured debt that you may owe) against you and any guarantors.
  • If there’s a dispute over how much you owe, refer the file to a registrar
    (court official) for an accounting (calculation backed up with evidence).
  • In some circumstances, give your lender control of your property’s sale.
  • In some cases, request an Order Absolute instead of a redemption period and Order for Conduct of Sale.

If the court grants the Order Absolute, your lender takes title to the property and everyone living there must immediately move out.

If you are behind on your mortgage payments or if you are facing foreclosure, contact us to help you prevent foreclosure. We provide free consultation to discuss the different options that are available to you. We have solutions for foreclosure prevention.

In every case, the options available to you will depend upon your individual circumstances and it’s important for you to take quick action to avoid foreclosure. To increase the chance of successfully managing your financial situation through early intervention and preventing foreclosure, contact us at the first sign of financial difficulty.

Prevent Your Lender Selling the House Through Foreclosure 

At any stage before the court approves the sale of the property, or grants
your lender an Order Absolute you can stop a foreclosure by either reinstating or redeeming your mortgage.

Reinstate the mortgage

If you can come up with at least your missed payments, you may be able to have your mortgage reinstated. This means that you pay the arrears and then start your payments again. To reinstate, you have to pay any unpaid taxes, and you may have to pay a legal fee to cover the foreclosure action started against you. Your lender doesn’t have to allow reinstatement unless you get a court order.

Redeem your mortgage

If you can pay your lender in full what you owe on the mortgage, inform your lender right away. For example, you might arrange to sell the property yourself if your lender doesn’t have an Order for Conduct of Sale. Or you’ve arranged a new mortgage to pay off the old one. You have to provide one or more of the following as proof that you can pay off the mortgage:

A letter from a new lender saying the money is available to you
A letter from your banker saying the money is in a trust account
A letter from your lawyer saying the money is in the lawyer’s trust account

If you have the money and your lender doesn’t accept your offer to reinstate or redeem your mortgage, it may be possible to go to court and ask to stop the foreclosure. You need to give the court proof (written evidence) that you have the money.

Stop the foreclosure procedure prior to the foreclosure proceeding going to Supreme Court. If you are facing foreclosure you can receive free, confidential counseling from our foreclosure prevention team 604-812-3718 or info@gvcps.ca.
