Also, learn about existing lending laws and new legislation designed to protect homeowners’ rights. Depending on the details of your case, suing your lender may be your best legal strategy to protect your rights and resolve your troubled mortgage!

If you are behind on your mortgage, facing foreclosure or stuck in a bad loan, look for organizations offering “Mortgage Delinquency and Default Resolution Counseling” services. Organizations are listed in alphabetical order, by city.
THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION (FTC) PROHIBITS ANY “NON-ATTORNEY” FROM NEGOTIATING MORTGAGE DEBT ON BEHALF OF A DISTRESSED HOMEOWNER. YOU SHOULD BE SKEPTICAL OF ANY “NON-ATTORNEY” ORGANIZATION’S ABILITY TO PROVIDE THE ASSISTANCE YOU NEED TO PREVENT FORECLOSURE!
Many of these organizations will end up recommending that you retain a foreclosure attorney. Most experienced foreclosure attorneys prefer to represent homeowners from the beginning of negotiations. Negotiating yourself or through a non-attorney third party can actually do harm, so we recommend a FREE FORECLOSURE ATTORNEY CONSULTATION before you do anything else! You can also speed up the process by completing our ONLINE FORECLOSURE ATTORNEY EVALUATION. Your completed form is immediately routed to a foreclosure attorney licensed to practice in your state. You will receive a phone call with results and any further questions.
