Our firm understands how stressful it can be when an individual is facing a lawsuit from their mortgage lender. At The Law Offices of Kevin Conway, there are many ways that we can assist you in the foreclosure defense process. Some of the legal services we provide for this matter include the following:
One way to stop a foreclosure in its tracks is by filing for bankruptcy. This is true even if the foreclosure proceedings are supposed to be happening that very day. The second an individual’s bankruptcy petition is filed is when the automatic stay goes into effect. The automatic stay will require that all collection and contact efforts against you stop immediately, including a foreclosure. This buys you some time to determine what the next move will be while maintaining your residence.
When a property owner is no longer able to make mortgage payments, they have a few options to consider. One such option is to try and arrange a loan modification. This allows the homeowner to work with the lender to make changes to their existing loan agreement so it better fits their current financial situation. This process is available during the Foreclosure Settlement Conference, which occurs before the bank can proceed to sell the property. The property owner will have to request that the bank consider this option for their situation and it will only be approved if it seems practical. In some situations, a loan modification may be possible through the Loss Mitigation Program after filing for bankruptcy.
One of the options for homeowners under the Bankruptcy Code is participation in the Loss Mitigation Program. The Bankruptcy Court may allow the homeowner to request that their foreclosure case is handled through this program. The Loss Mitigation Program lets the homeowner pursue a loan modification, which forces all parties to determine whether the bank can provide a modification or if the homeowner is eligible for a government loan modification.
