Well John and Cathy had been on my site here reading much of what I’ve been talking about when it comes to How to write a hardship letter. I easily pointed them to some websites and also showed them how not to write a hardship letter. But they wanted some more information about what an effective hardship letter would look like.

What Should I Do After I Write a Hardship Letter to the Bank to Stop the Foreclosure Process?

Let me tell you about Danny. His house was in foreclosure. And all he did was write a
hardship letter. He had high hopes that writing a hardship letter would be sufficient.
Boy was he wrong!
In that letter he told the banker all about his troubles and asked for a loan negotiation
and some time to get back on his feet.
The good news is Danny got what he wanted. A loan negotiation and more time. But what did he
do with that? What do you think Danny did with that extra time? Do you think he followed
the requirements necessary to complete the loan negotiation like fax in proof of his current
income, and go down to the bank and sign more papers? NOPE!
Danny did absolutely nothing. He didn’t give the banker copies of his monthly pay stubs. He
didn’t fax in a copy of last year’s income tax. And he didn’t go down to the bank to sign
any paper work.
Well you ask, what did Danny do? NOTHING! Absolutely NOTHING!
That is until one day a sign showed up on his front lawn. Then he came to me. And he sobbed
out a sorry and weak story.
He said well I was going to go down to the bank and sign the paperwork. And I was going to
fax in my income tax and I was going to send in copies of my pay-stub.
Well what do you think I should tell him? Huh! Well, I told him what I tell everyone. I
told him the truth about where these words of hesitation lead you when facing foreclosure.
That’s right!!! Hesitation and inaction leads to a great big sign on the lawn that says
something like, “Bank Sale” or “REO Bank Auction”
But what was so sad for Danny is that he learned the hard way that Writing a Hardship Letter
to the Bank is just not enough.
So what else is needed besides merely writing a hardship letter?
Good question! I’m so glad you asked. What else is needed besides just writing a hardship
letter? Well let me ask you. What else do you really want? Like really tell me the truth
here! What are you expecting from your lender by writing a Hardship Letter?
There is a world of action and little delicate steps that create the gigantic results. You
must engage in this world of action and take those delicate little steps after you write
that letter to the bank to really stop the foreclosure process.
And just like in anything else in life, “going to do it” and “planning to do it” and
“thinking about doing it” just doesn’t cut it.
If you really want success stopping your foreclosure procedure then writing a hardship
letter is a great place to start. But it is not a great place to finish.
You have to follow all the instructions that take you far beyond just writing a hardship
letter. And you have to be willing to think fast and act fast, and change fast. That’s just
the bottom line.
AGGRESSIVE ACTION and PERSISTENT DETERMINATION are a must!
Well what action do I think you should take first? Well once again I’m so glad you asked.
Let me make it really really easy for you.

So what else did you discover from reading this post today? Well let me sum it up for you.

likely lead to disaster. Taking action today and making sure that it is focused and directed
action leads to the results you want.
