Avoiding Foreclosure

Options to explore

Are you experiencing a financial hardship? If you are unable to afford your mortgage or home equity payments and want to avoid foreclosure, Oregonians can help you find workable solutions. There may be options available to you depending on the type of loan you have with us. Some possible outcomes include:

  • A temporary or permanent loan modification;
  • An agreement to conduct a short sale;
  • A deed in lieu of foreclosure;
  • You may be able to sell your home and repay your loan in its entirety. If your home's value is less than what you owe, Oregonians Credit Union may be willing to accept less money than you owe and develop a repayment plan for the remaining amounts due;
  • another workout plan; or
  • no workout agreement, keeping loan terms as is.

We want to discuss your options, but please do not delay. Please contact us as soon as you realize you cannot afford to make your payment. If you want to discuss options for avoiding foreclosure, please call (503) 239-1120 or (800) 697-8996.

To evaluate your eligibility for the options listed above, we may ask for the following documents. Please have them available if requested:

  • Detailed letter describing your financial hardship.
  • List of assets, including the amount owed and the value (home, other real estate, retirement funds, investments, checking accounts, savings accounts, automobiles, other).
