Mortgage Foreclosure

There are many ways to stop a foreclosure or reduce the ramifications. You may have thought about contacting an attorney, but have delayed the process. The key to an adequate defense is to retain an attorney early in the process, long before the auction date is set. There are ways to stop the foreclosure proceeding if any of the following apply to your circumstance:

• The lender does not have all the proper documents to prove he is legally entitled to foreclose, typically a relevant issue when the note has been sold and re-sold.
• The lender does not have a proper calculation of mortgage arrears, costs, and fees including escrow amounts and interest rates.
• The lender has not provided adequate notice of default.
• The lender has not taken all required steps to foreclose on your property properly.
• Defenses under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) exist in your circumstance.
