Homeowner lost her job and couldnt pay mortgage for a few months. A servicer suggested that a mortgage modification is available if payments are made. The homeowner made the payments to the servicer, but the modification never occurred and now is at risk for foreclosure.

Have you appealed the decision? When did you apply? What is your current interest rate?
There are a lot of factors that go into a loan modification. Just because you didn't qualify 6 months ago, doesn't mean you won't qualify now.
We separated two years ago, and part of our agreement was for me to move out, and she'll retain the home, as long as she can maintain the monthly payments. At the time of agreement, I didn't have the resources to do things the RIGHT way and wanted the path of least resistance to just take... View More

What you have not confirmed is whether you are on title as well as the loan. If on title, bring a partition action to sell the property by court order, and in turn, pay off the loan. That may also force her to refinance. If there is no equity in the property, there is little you can do, but let... View More

When a lender assigns a note and mortgage, the debt remains with the borrower even if the property is sold subject to the mortgage.
Foreclosure notice on the door do we have to pay rent? Is it a fraudulent lease since he didn’t tell us the house was in foreclosure? And is it true that the law change that you only have to pay one month security?
answered on Mar 14, 2020
The whole thing may be a fraud. The "landlord" may not even own the house. If you paid already, you might call the police.

If you file a bankruptcy, the automatic stay will stop the lender from selling your house as long as you are eligible. Just filing a regular lawsuit usually will not stop a foreclosure sale.

Are you the owner or the tenant? If you are the tenant, you have the same rights you had before, including a lease.

You need to file the bond with the clerk. There is a fee. The judgment will be stayed until the appeal is over.

It is legally possible to foreclose against a property owner for nonpayment of common charges.

Like other litigations, foreclosure cases are commenced by service of a summons and complaint not be service of an affidavit.

You cannot be evicted. Make sure you have a copy of your lease to show the buyer at the sale.
Do I need permission from the bank to remove my personal property before the sale?
answered on Oct 20, 2019
Are you the owner or a tenant? If you are the tenant, the lender would have no interest in your personal property. However, if you start taking appliances, the lender may not believe you own them. Likewise, if you are the owner, the lender would not be interested in your personal property but... View More

Sale dates are set by the Referee and are advertised as per court order. Thus, your question makes no sense.
If sold pursuant to foreclosure can they keep entire proceeds even if it exceeds amount owed to Timeshare Company. I called and was told that I lose ownership in this foreclosure.

This may be true. To work through this, I'd have to review the terms of your purchase agreement.

I'm sure you are anxious for an answer but a real answer to your situation would best be sought by having an attorney review all the documents and facts related to your situation.

There is a special notice of appearance for foreclosures. I charge $500 to file it and monitor the case. It gives you notice of all proceedings, and any surplus issues. You do not owe anything. You are being named as an heir, I assume. The papers will say.
I cannot afford a lawyer, I want to Kno if any lawyers do any pro bono cases.

I am not sure you need to do what you think you need to do. It depends on the equity, if any, in the house.
I am a title reader in NYC, a deed went on 2017 out of a referee to an LLC.

I believe the action can be set aside but want an... View More

Normally the proof of publication is filed with the case. If you give an attorney the case number it is fairly easy to find if the case was filed after 2011 otherwise it would need to be pulled from the courthouse itself.
My mortgage company is going through bankruptcy but threatening me with foreclosure on my home due to failed payments. How can they come after me when they themselves aren’t in good financial satisfactory.

You owe them. They do not owe you. Your loan is an asset for their creditors. You need to pay.
