NFCC Touts 'Mortgage Reality Check' Quiz

The National Foundation for Credit Counseling, Silver Spring, Md., has announced the launch of the Mortgage Reality Check to help homeowners determine whether they are at risk of losing their homes.Developed by housing experts, the "easy-to-take quiz" is designed to help homeowners understand their situation, identify problems, and provide guidance about options and where to turn for help, the foundation said. "Even if foreclosure seems inevitable, there may be options that can help in certain circumstances," the NFCC said. The Mortgage Reality Check is located within the NFCC's Homeowner Crisis Resource Center, which also provides direct access to certified housing counselors and homeowner information and financial tools.
