Stop Foreclosure Options in Michigan

What still works (by stage)

The winning move isn’t “a trick.” It’s the right option at the right time. Pick your goal first: keep the home or exit cleanly.

No pressure. Tell us your stage + goal. We’ll map the shortest path to control.

Red flags (move carefully)
  • Anyone promising a guaranteed stop without reviewing your case.
  • Paying large upfront fees for vague “processing” or unclear deliverables.
  • Waiting until the last week to act. Options collapse fast near deadlines.

Option #1: Reinstate

If you can catch up the full amount, reinstatement can stop the process quickly.

Option #2: Modification / Workout

Best when income is stable and the lender offers a path that’s truly affordable.

Option #3: Repayment Plan

Catch-up payments added on top of the normal payment. Works only if cash flow supports it.

Option #4: Sell Before It Gets Worse

If affordability is broken, selling early often protects the most stability.
