When you have stopped making your mortgage payments, you will likely face foreclosure.

What is Foreclosure?

Foreclosure is the legal process that a bank will use to force the sale of your property to recover the remaining loan balance. It is often a stressful event for homeowners as it usually follows an already existing financial problem that you have not been able to solve.

Financial hardship can occur in the wake of an unpredicted illness or injury leading to large medical bills, a divorce, job loss or major reduction in job hours or pay, the death of a spouse or other mortgage holder, the loss or downturn of a family business, or some other financial catastrophe.

How to Stop a Foreclosure?

Probably the simplest way to stop a foreclosure is to go through a mortgage modification which is a revising of its terms to make it more affordable. This involves convincing your lender to renegotiate with you. Having an attorney who has a track record of success at this is obviously a big bonus when fighting to save your home. A knowledgeable lawyer can get the bank to settle on better terms than you can on your own.

Absent a mortgage modification, you may be able to use other various defensive or offensive strategies that can be brought against your lender. Foreclosure offense includes a broad range of actions that can be brought against your mortgage bank.

These strategies can include:

• State, federal, or common law procedures were violated against you as the borrower by your mortgage bank; procedural requirements were not followed. These violations can impact the validity of the foreclosure process.

• The lender trying to foreclose on your home lacks “standing” which means it does not have a legal right to foreclose. For example, it cannot prove it is the legal holder of your mortgage.

• Your home loan was serviced incorrectly, such as mistakes made in crediting your payments, violating fee agreements per your contract, and more. These then can lead to a negation of the foreclosure against you.

• The lender violated your rights as a servicemember on active duty who has financial protections under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. Under this act, you are protected against civil actions while on active duty or preparing to go on active duty.

• The lender engaged in using defective documentation, affidavits, or declarations.
