Foreclosure costs them money up front, so they’re willing to negotiate with you. You won’t get out of what you owe them, but you may be able to get different terms.

By cutting back drastically you can reduce your monthly costs and start yourself back onto good credit. Remember to ask yourself whether it’s a WANT or NEED EVERY time you start to buy something. Mostly wants. You don’t need that sharp new suit those sexy new shoes, etc.
Most mortgage companies do not want to be homeowners and they know that they are in a loose loose situation so they do want to resolve the issues. But the main concern is that they want the money that is owed to them. So trying to resolve the issue before it gets to far is the key. If you see that the payments are getting to a point that you can not make it…..start the process of negotiating with them. If you are even a month behind, more than likely the foreclosure process has started. Do not wait until the foreclosure starts. Even though you can stop a foreclosure, stopping it before it starts is the key to saving money. Once it starts the legal fees and cost start clicking away. Every minute counts.
