NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -

A new survey says late payments on mortgages hit a three-year low, but if you're still having problems with your home mortgage, help might just be a phone call away.

Tennessee Attorney General Bob Cooper and Tennessee Housing Development Agency Executive Director Ted R. Fellman announced a toll-free mortgage hotline is now available for Tennesseans who need advice.

Homeowners can call Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CST and speak with a representative who can direct homeowners to a free foreclosure prevention counselor and explain various housing assistance programs.

"My office wants to make sure that Tennessee homeowners get all the help they deserve under this settlement," said Cooper. "We are pleased to partner with THDA to create this mortgage hotline for all Tennessee homeowners who are struggling to make their mortgage payment."

"We encourage all Tennesseans who are having problems with their mortgage service, regardless of who it is, to call the mortgage hotline," said Fellman. "This hotline will put struggling homeowners in touch with free counselors who can explain the housing options available to try to keep Tennesseans in their homes."
