Homeowners Facing Foreclosure

Taking on the foreclosure mill

Representing homeowners victimized by Ohio’s largest foreclosure mill (Turner et al v. Lerner Sampson and Rothfuss U.S. District Court Northern District of Ohio 1:11-cv-00056), is only the latest example of my determined commitment to aggressively represent homeowners who are facing foreclosure.

Reasons for foreclosure seeking modifications

People face foreclosure for a variety of reasons, including:

• Loss of a job
• Unexpected medical expenses
• Predatory mortgages
• Declining home values

I have had success working with banks and loan servicers to help homeowners modify their mortgages. I have represented homeowners who have had modifications reducing their principal balance, their interest rate and their monthly payments preventing foreclosure.

Fighting foreclosure in court

Many homeowners view the filing of a foreclosure complaint as the end of a dispute with their lender.

Really, it is only the beginning.

During the housing and refinancing bubble of the last decade, many mortgage loans were sold over and over again, often creating gaps in ownership that make foreclosure difficult or impossible. Loan servicers routinely violate federal and state laws and their fiduciary duties to lenders and homeowners. I have successfully raised these issues on behalf of homeowners resulting in dismissals of foreclosure complaints or modifications that make it possible for homeowners to remain in their home.

As Attorney General I was instrumental in establishing a central resource for programs to help homeowners facing foreclosure. For additional resources contact http://www.savethedream.ohio.gov.
