Sheriff Mullen suggests that you please seek legal advice. If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for free legal assistance. Find out by contacting a legal service listed below. A mortgage company or taxing body may be able to work with you to avoid foreclosure. You may be eligible to apply for some form of refinancing assistance, such as a reverse mortgage*, refinancing of your existing mortgage, or other alternative.
*A reverse mortgage enables older homeowners (62+) to convert part of there equity in there homes into tax-free income without having to sell the home, give up their title or take on a new monthly mortgage payment. The reverse mortgage is aptly named because the payment stream is “reversed.” Instead of making monthly payments to a lender, as with a regular mortgage, a lender makes payments for you.

In any occassion, you must act fast. If you delay, fees, cost and interest will increase significantly. An example of what can happen is as follows:
A 2004 property with an original tax amount owed of $325.02 had a final Foreclosure amount due of $2,133.26.
If you have not contacted the creditor, you should consider doing so. Many creditors will work with you to try to avoid a Sheriff’s sale of your property. If the Sheriff’s sale involves a mortgage foreclosure of your residence, you may reinstate your mortgage by paying the full amount of the delinquencies, including all fees and costs up to the day of the Sheriff’s sale.
Should your property be among those listed for Sheriff’s sale information is available by contacting the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office Mortgage Foreclosure Hotline at 412-350-4704 daily Monday thru Friday (except holidays) between the hours of 9:00AM and 11:00AM and from 1:00PM to 3:00 PM
Finally, be aware of scams when seeking foreclosure help.
