our mortgage is due on the 1st of every month with a 5-day grace period. my husband changed jobs after we had this loan and his payment schedule is now different. we are late every month. every month we talk to the bank and every month we are charged with a late fee. we've gone to the bank to see if we can change the due date, but they say that we can only do that if we refinance...but we'd be going to an arm at 11%. right now we're at 9%.
now we've received a letter stating that the bank could possibly start a foreclosure process. they now state that they will discuss options once they receive loan application information (taxes, verification of employment, etc.).
we are current with our mortgage in that we haven't missed a payment - we are literally 5 days late every month. we haven't paid 3 late fees because of unexpected car repairs. so, we are up-to-date with our mortgage until february 1st, and have an outstanding balance of $300.00 in late fees.
what options are there for us?

Hi sonasort!
Welcome to forums!
If you are current on your mortgage payments, then the lender cannot foreclose the property. You should immediately speak to the bank and check out why they are starting a foreclosure process when you are already current on your payments.
Moreover, you should also note that it is not necessary to refinance the property with the same lender. You can check out with other lenders and see what type of rates and terms they are offering and go for a refinance. You can also speak to the lenders of this community and seek a no-obligation free mortgage consultation which will help you know what kind of rates and terms you may get.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
