Are you in danger of losing your home?

Have you been receiving mortgage papers that you don't understand?

Are you receiving calls, visits, or mail from aggressive lenders?

Were you pressured into a loan with high interest rates and fees?

Are you having trouble making your mortgage payments?

Have you been charged excessive late fees or fees you don't understand?

Has your lender refused to accept your payments?

Has your lender threatened foreclosure?

Are the conditions of your loan different than what was originally explained to you?
