Foreclosure litigation begins with a filing of ‘Lis Pendens’ or litigation pending file against the borrower in the county court. After this, the debtor has 20 days to reply to the summons of the court with the help of an attorney.  IF the 20 days have lapse, it does not mean that we can not help you... Call Us Now

Losing your home to Foreclosure is anyone’s worst nightmare. The repercussions can be huge and alarming on both the social and emotional front. It can and is likely to include relocating to another area or city, job changes, living away from family and friends etc. Often, the disturbing impact of such a loss affects the whole family, especially children. There is also a risk of losing a good part of your capital and savings if the home sale results in a deficiency judgment. This could affect your finances for the rest of your life, if you are not careful.

One of the ways to defend your home from foreclosure is to file for Bankruptcy. This gives debtors a substantial timeline to re-possess their home without being evicted. The timeline can range from a good three to five years.

Debtors can resort to many other defense claims against foreclosure. Doing so helps the debtors negotiate with the lenders in an attempt to save their homes with or without filing for bankruptcy. Doing so delays the entire foreclosure process so that the debtors have a chance to work on reclaiming their homes either by looking at alternate means or if lenders delay the process due to some finer points leading them to start the process from the top.
