Home foreclosure is becoming a far more common problem. Often it originates from one missed payment which soon spirals out of control. Before you know it you have missed three or four payments and the mortgage lender or bank wants you to pay everything you owe all at once, right then and there. This sounds like a very difficult feat and many are lead to believe that they have no other choice. When the homeowners realize that they have made a grave mistake they resort to anything they can to get out of a tight situation.
