State workshop aims to prevent foreclosures
Posted 12/31/69

Residents facing foreclosure or just in need of some advice on reworking their mortgage can speak at no cost with credit and finance counselors at a state-sponsored workshop on Saturday.

The Mortgage Relief Project, under state law, allows homeowners behind on their mortgages a 90-day grace period before foreclosure to work out a payment plan if they get housing counseling. The workshop is an opportunity to get it, according to the state housing authority.

The workshops will cover refinancing, legal rights, credit counseling and general foreclosure prevention. Homeowners are asked to bring recent mortgage documents and state IDs.

There are 1,214 reports of foreclosures in the Bolingbrook area and 455 in Plainfield, according to Realytrac.com, a site that tracks foreclosures.

The event is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at Brooks Middle School, 350 Blair Lane.

For information call 1-800-532-8785 or go to www.idfpr.com.More
