Missouri attorney general offers advice for people facing foreclosure

Attorney General Chris Koster is providing new information on his website for Missouri residents facing foreclosure.

The website now has answers to frequently asked questions, a list of documents people going through foreclosures need and a form letter to obtain those documents. Koster said Monday an increasing number of Missourians are facing foreclosure problems.

Koster says there have been nearly 100 complaints filed in the last month with the attorney general's office from people going through foreclosures. He estimates the number of complaints over the last two years are eight to 10 times greater than in 2006 and 2007.

The documents can be found at www.ago.mo.gov.
