Ms. Wang had a delinquency on her mortgage and was facing foreclosure. A language barrier combined with a high mortgage rate and medical bills had led to financial hardship, bad credit, and debts in collection status. Ms. Wang came to CASL seeking assistance with credit management and foreclosure prevention. Knowledgeable Chinese-speaking staff were able to help her negotiate her payments with collectors, make mortgage payments on time, and set up a savings plan. Staff also referred Ms. Wang to another CASL department to help her renew her Medicaid Card and properly cover medical expenses.
