There are several ways to stop a foreclosure process. The first and the important step is that don’t let your lender start the foreclosure process no matter why you have missed a payment. Contact with them and explain the situation. In most of cases, lender came to an arrangement with the client without actually starting a foreclosure process. Here are possible solutions,

• Reinstatement Plan
• Repayment Plan
• Loan Modification
• Loan Refinance
• Loan Forbearance
• Partial Claim
• Pre-Foreclosure Sale
• Short Sale
• Deed-in-lieu of Foreclosure

Most of people go for Short Sale however that comes with extra cost as well. I have also come to notice that some people are trying to play some trick with Federal Consolidation Loan. However I don’t have much information about that and will try to find more information to post it here.
