Hiring An Attorney May Help Homeowners Prevent Foreclosure


Posted on Mar 18, 2010

March 18, 2010 - Washington, D.C. - The Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, was created to assist homeowners in paying for their mortgage by lowering their monthly payments.

According to Housing Watch, many lenders may "play along" and act like they are interested in helping struggling homeowners save their property, but they will eventually go ahead with foreclosure; often with little, or no, warning. This is because banks claim that it is better for them to simply foreclose on a person's home than allow to a homeowner to make smaller payments. 

HAMP is supposed to prevent lenders from perpetuating these types of wrongful bank foreclosure, but many borrowers still find themselves unexpectedly homeless. Because of the current high number of wrongful bank foreclosures, some borrowers have fought back by securing legal assistance in an effort to keep their lender from ignoring their pleas for assistance. Some homeowners have been able to save their property with the help of a lawyer, as they were persistent, knew their rights, and made themselves heard.

Right here in Massachusetts, homeowners are taking on such giants as Bank of America and Wells Fargo for not following through on their word. Many borrowers in California have also sued and many have been successful in keeping their homes.
