Try the ABA in your area. I really think they would help you. You could also try Legal Aid in the yellow pages. I would be glad to make a call to your insurance company for you if you want. Anything I can do I will be glad to help you out. I am so sorry you have to deal with this right now on top of everything but you may want the answer as soon as possible to plan out your strategy. I found out in Texas, for example, they can start foreclosure proceedings after missing your second payment and it takes a few days to completely boot you out of your house. It is the fastest state there is. I just lost my job before I could get back to work and it is weighing heavily on my mind. I have been looking hard for a job the past week and am trying not to think about it.
