Sound familiar?
Notices are piling up
Missed-payment letters, acceleration notices, and sale dates each mark stages where different options apply.
The servicer is a maze
Lost paperwork, conflicting answers, and dual-tracking (foreclosing while "reviewing" a modification) are common and sometimes unlawful.
Equity at risk
A foreclosure sale can consume equity you have built for years. Alternatives may preserve more of it.
How an attorney can help
- Review the foreclosure for procedural and documentation defects
- Pursue loan modifications and loss-mitigation alternatives
- Assert defenses and, where appropriate, litigate to stop the sale
- Evaluate Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Which can halt foreclosure and allow catch-up over time
