Looking for a foreclosure-prevention workshop, stat? Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger's office is holding one in Essex on Monday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

His staff say their last event -- held earlier this week -- matched up 50 struggling borrowers with their lenders for one-on-one discussions.

If you go, bring all the things lenders usually want to see:

• Hardship letter

• Last two months of bank statements

• Last two pay stubs

• 2008 or 2009 tax return

• Any foreclosure notifications you're received

• And anything other documents specific to your situation

The workshop is scheduled to be held at Stemmers Run Middle School, 201 Stemmers Run Rd.
