Now Consult With a Foreclosure Attorney and Stop Wrongful Foreclosure

(MENAFNEditorial)

For years the mortgage and housing markets have been in distress and during these times lenders seized nearly one million California houses. In 2013 Governor Jerry Brown passed SB 900 to help borrowers facing foreclosure to stay in their homes.

The homeowners Bill of Rights [SB 900] provides significant legal protection for struggling homeowners who are facing foreclosure. The law provides common-sense reforms that require all banks in California to treat borrowers more fairly while bringing more accountability and transparency into their lending practices. With this law foreclosure attorneys have a much better chance of defending homes from foreclosure.

In California SB 900 has given homeowners some of the strongest foreclosure protection in the nation. The law protects homeowners against aggressive bank practices such as starting the foreclose process without first talking to the borrower to offer assistance. Under SB 900 it is illegal for a lender to foreclose on a borrower while they are in negotiations or applying for a loan modification to lower mortgage payments.

Many lenders break the law in California by offering to help a borrower to modify their loan while moving forward with the foreclosure process. This common practice is called dual tracking. Many lenders prefer the dual-tracking route because it enables them to more quickly foreclose on a property if the process of a short sale forbearance deed-in-lieu or loan modification is taking too long. This practice caused many honest and hard-working homeowners to end up being evicted in spite of the fact they were working as hard as they could with the bank to get their loans modified.

California was the first state to prohibit lenders from engaging in dual tracking. The foreclosure lawyers at Consumer Action Law Group often sue lenders for wrongful foreclosure and illegal practices when lenders violate SB 900.
