A foreclosure is the process the bank or lender uses to take your home.  In simple terms, the bank or lender asks that the court allow a reposession of your home so the outstanding loan can be satisfied.  In todays economy there is usually a deficiency balance owed even after the foreclosure.  This means that even after the foreclosure that you may owe money to the bank!  However, there are steps that you can take to protect yourself and your family. A foreclosure attorney can protect your rights and keep you in your home.

If you are among the thousands of homeowners who have received a summons or a complaint, you are being sued.  This summons signals the official start of your foreclosure. Your mortgage company has filed a lawsuit against you and is asking the court to take your home.  A foreclosure attorney from The Owens Law Firm, P.A. will present your defenses to the court, protect you from the fraud and lies coming from the mortgage company, and show you the best way to overcome this situation.

They do not know the law, know your rights, or have the experience to help you determine the best way for you to protect yourself and your family.

Even if you decide to do nothing, you owe it to yourself and your family to examine all your options and make an informed decision. Don’t gamble your family's future.

You should definitely understand that at this point in your life, your bank is no longer your friend. Do not believe that they “really don’t want” your house. If they didn’t want it, they would not have sued you. Do not believe it if they tell you that as long as you are working on a loan modification plan, they will not foreclose on you. They can and they will. 

What is even worse than these lies and tricks is how difficult the banks and mortgage companies often make the process of trying to work with them. Many of our clients came to us in total frustration, after trying their best to “do what’s right” but only getting the run around from their bank. If you have already begun to deal with your financial institution, you probably already know that when you call for help, you often get completely different answers each time you call. It is not unusual for a mortgage company to tell you that you must be at least 90 days behind on your mortgage before they will consider you for a loan modification. This is not true.

Neither is it unusual for a mortgage company to ask you for paperwork, and then claim they never received it, or lost it. We have seen people who went through this for months, sending in the same information over and over. While you are doing everything you can to work with them, “your” mortgage company is adding to your confusion as well as adding late fees, extra costs, and still proceeding with the foreclosure.  Our foreclosure attorney can assist you work through the loan modification process and show you additional options you may not have considered.
