Foreclosure help -- by mail
In my mailbox this week: A postcard from the state urging recipient to "Act NOW! Before It's Too Late!" if behind on mortgage payments.
It looks like a stepped-up response. The state has for a while offered foreclosure-help advice on a website, and a Baltimore nonprofit arranged for ads on radio stations, billboards and buses, but this is delivered directly.
The postcard recommends that if "you or someone you know is worried about losing their home to foreclosure or fraud ... Call The Maryland Hope Hotline At 1-877-462-7555 or go to www.mdhope.org for information on loan programs, counseling services and fraud intervention."
Anyone else get the postcard? (Or perhaps the state thinks my neighborhood is particularly at risk?)
