Facing financial distress and possible foreclosure?

If you’re experiencing financial distress and are potentially facing foreclosure, let iQ Credit Union help. Depending on the type of loan you have and your individual circumstances, there are many options that may be available to you.

  • iQ Credit Union may be able to modify your loan to make your payments more affordable.
  • You may be able to refinance your loan, extending the payment period, and/or reducing the interest rate, thereby lowering your monthly payment.
  • 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, iQ Credit Union may be willing to accept less money than you owe and develop a repayment plan for the remaining amounts due.
