"So you want to know how to get your mortgage out of default. It sounds like you may be at least sixty or ninety days past due and the lender's calling you now. No problem, I'll tell you how. Hi, my name's Adriel Torres and I'm the owner of ultimatecredittoday.com. There's several ways of getting your mortgage out of default. Nowadays, most lenders are willing to work with the borrower because of the obvious financial status of what's going on with mortgages. My suggestion is call the lender. Explain your situation, let them know why you're behind and to please put those two or three payments on the back of the note so you're starting fresh, you're starting with a first mortgage payment, where ever you're at. If they're not willing to work, then there are other ways. One way is depending on how much equity you have in your property you could take what is called a hard equity loan, where different lenders will basically give you a loan based on the equity of your property and not on your credit. And of course you can always sell the property or if those three don't work, then you can always try to short sell the property where the lender will be willing to take a lesser pay off on the mortgage instead of going through the foreclosure process. And that's exactly how you get your mortgage out of default. Again, my name's Adriel Torres and I'm the owner of ultimatecredittoday.com. Thank you very much."
