Home Matters: Helping You Find Solutions

Hard Times Can Happen to Anyone

There are times in life when we struggle to meet our financial obligations. Losing a job, divorce, a death, or a serious illness in the family can all be reasons that lead to financial hardship. This hardship, regardless of what caused it, can spiral out of control -- beginning with late and missed payments and ending with foreclosure of your home. Don't let that happen to you.

Though it can seem overwhelming, My Credit Union wants you to know that we are here to help. However, viable solutions require you to act quickly. As soon as you think you may be in danger of making a late payment or even missing a payment on your home loan altogether, contact My Credit Union immediately. There are a number of options available to you. My Credit Union employees are trained to work with you to try and find a reasonable solution to keep you in your home. We know how much your home matters.

Don't Wait. You Must Act Now.

Remember, you only have a short time to avoid serious problems with your home loan. As soon as you know you will be making a home loan payment late, and certainly before you have actually missed a home loan payment, choose one of the options below. Your particular circumstances will help determine which one makes the most sense, but please always keep in mind that as hard as it might be to admit financial hardship, it is nothing compared to losing your home.

Ask for help - As easy as this sounds, many of us find it difficult to admit that we need help. Please don't hesitate to contact our Mortgage Team via email at MortgageOriginations@mymncu.org, or by phone at 612.798.7106, or in writing to: My Credit Union, 9550 Lyndale Ave. S. Bloomington, MN, 55420, Attn: Mortgage Origination.

Our goal is to help you find a solution before it becomes too late. Our ability to help you keep your home declines with every missed payment. It is extremely important to address the problem as soon as possible and keep us informed of your situation.
