Foreclosure prevention event Feb. 6

Behind on your mortgage or concerned you might get that way? U.S. Rep. Elijah E. Cummings is sponsoring a foreclosure-prevention workshop in Baltimore County a week from this Saturday, Feb. 6. The registration deadline is Feb. 3.

You can sign up to see a representative of your mortgage servicer, assuming yours is on the sizable invitee list, and you can also ask for time with a housing counselor and/or a pro bono attorney.

Homeowner advocates tell me that Cummings' previous events have been packed.

The event is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Woodlawn High School, 1801 Woodlawn Drive in Gwynn Oak. More details, including what financial documents to bring, are on this PDF.
