It’s difficult to imagine how people feel when their homes are illegally foreclosed on. Despite putting up a fight to save the home, many mortgage companies simply overpower homeowners into foreclosure. There are many different violations that could qualify a foreclosure as being illegal, and our foreclosure attorneys have been able to successfully file lawsuits against those banks to help our clients keep their home – even when they think it’s too late.
Most states have laws protecting homeowners from predatory lenders & illegal foreclosures, and Californian’s have some of the best legislation on their side. Lenders must follow a strict timeline, and serve appropriate notices related to the foreclosure process to the homeowner. Failure to follow these procedures can make the foreclosure illegal, and help the homeowner keep their home for good. There is another key area of the foreclosure process where lenders tend to misstep as well.
Californian’s are protected from foreclosure during the loan modification review process. If your lender accepts a package for a loan modification review, they must deny your request before they are able to proceed with the foreclosure process. Proceeding with foreclosure while there is a loan modification in review is considered dual-tracking, and is illegal for your lender to do.
