Goody_Ouchless 510 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Quote Homeowners can't just stop paying their mortgage. "They need to contact their servicer — that is the lender that they send the check to every month," he says. "That lender will work with them to be able to work out a payment plan. Where have I heard that, before? Oh yea - 2008. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhoCares1000 784 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 The thing is, for someone like me who has not lost their job, there should be no reason why I should not continue to pay on my mortgage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You posted a link to an article, presumably for the purposes of discussion. When people tried to discuss it, you assume the comments made were somehow directed toward you personally. Why (how, really) do you do that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People take out mortgages in the most extreme situations. Because I don't think everyone will want to pay interest every month or year. I believe that a loan can be taken if you are sure that you don't have to sell all your possessions to pay off the mortgage loan. Plus, if you still decide to take out a loan, then you need to choose a credit company well and carefully. Because now there are many scammers and fake companies that deceive people because of their inexperience. I took out a loan for a house of 300 thousand dollars here https://www.Nottinghammoneyman.com and I am grateful that I was helped until the end of the transaction. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because I don't think everyone would want to pay interest every month or year People don't only take out mortgages in the most extreme situations. They take them out for an original purchase of a home, to have cash to invest elsewhere, or to remodel their home. Those are not extreme situations. And it does not answer my question. Since I have felt no adverse affects from the COVID situation financial wish, why should I not pay on my mortgage. The same goes for anyone else in my situation.
