Stop Foreclosure Workshop in Boston August 12, 2008

Facing foreclosure? Attend the foreclosure prevention workshop on August 12, 2008 being held in Boston, MA at Gillette Stadium from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. It’s FREE. (free parking too)

The foreclosure workshop is being hosted by The New England Patriots Charitable Foundation and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.

This is a great opportunity for homeowners in financial distress facing foreclosure or just concerned about it to sit down with their lender face-to-face and avoid foreclosure, if possible.

IMPORTANT:

Homeowners should bring documentation (written evidence) of their income, expenses, debts and mortgage to the workshop so they can better discuss their situation with their lender. The documentation may also be useful in talking with a housing or credit counselor.
