If the owner does not bring the delinquent payments up to date during the pre-foreclosure period, the property will be sold at a public auction.Chapter 13 is called "debt adjustment.

Another common sign, is if collection agencies are calling or writing you, or if you are being sued, or garnished.No problem at all.

What if I have poor credit?

Are you going to tell us to file bankruptcy?
