Mortgage Servicing Errors in Foreclosure Defense
A foreclosure lawyer can review mortgage servicing records for misapplied payments, improper fees, force-placed insurance, dual tracking, and inaccurate credit reporting. Attorney Michael P. Forbes represented a homeowner in U.S. Bank, N.A. v. Pautenis, a Delaware County mortgage foreclosure action in which the court ruled for the homeowner and dismissed the bank’s complaint.
The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and Regulation X may provide procedures for submitting a notice of error or request for information. The effect of any submission depends on the loan, servicer, filing, and facts of the matter.
Philadelphia Foreclosure Diversion & Loss Mitigation
For eligible owner-occupied residential mortgage foreclosure cases, the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas offers the Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Diversion Program, which can include conciliation conferences before a sheriff’s sale. Loan modification negotiations, HEMAP assistance, bankruptcy, deed in lieu, and other responses may require timely action.
Philadelphia homeowners may also have access to foreclosure prevention housing counseling and legal-aid resources. Eligibility and available options depend on the property, proceeding, and homeowner’s circumstances.
Other Practice Areas
- Credit Report Errors (FCRA Claims): Your credit report plays a critical role in your financial future. If inaccurate information has damaged your credit score or prevented you from obtaining financing, we can assist with disputing those errors and pursuing claims under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
- Personal Injury: If you were injured due to another person’s negligence, such as in a car accident or slip and fall, our firm can help pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering so you can focus on recovery.
