Mortgage giant Freddie Mac is tackling five big myths about foreclosure, like stopping payments will result in lenders' help, and has put out advice on YouTube.
The new series of short videos separates "foreclosure fact from fiction," Freddie Mac officials say, and in them, a housing counselor tells struggling homeowners what might happen and what they can do.
