Real stories
Homeowners who found their way forward
We were just days away from foreclosure when we found Financial Rescue Now and talked to Miles. Within 48 hours, they worked with our lender to pause the process and set up a repayment plan that actually fit our budget. Six months later, we're back on track and keeping our family home.
After falling behind on my mortgage for two years, I got a notice that my home was going to be sold at auction. I honestly panicked. Financial Rescue Now stepped in, negotiated a payment plan with my lender, and saved my home. I couldn't have figured this out on my own.
I inherited a home that was deep in foreclosure, and I had no idea what to do with it. Financial Rescue Now walked me through my options and helped me sell the property before the auction, so I was able to keep a good chunk of the equity I would have lost completely.
