 Your Right to a Settlement Conference


If your mortgage lender has filed to foreclose on your home, you may be entitled to a court-ordered settlement conference with your lender to negotiate an agreement tha could allow you to avoid foreclosure.  Look for the notice of your right to a settlement conference in your foreclosure papers.  To take advantage of this right, YOU MUST NOTIFY THE COURT that you desire a settlement conference within 30 days after receiving your notice.

At the settlement conference, you have the right to be represented by an attorney or assisted by a mortgage foreclosure counselor, either in person or by telephone.  Click on the mailbox on the right side of the page to receive assistance.  In order to have sufficient time to prepare, try to call at least two weeks before your scheduled settlement conference.

Settlement Conference

It's your home. It's your dream.


 

Getting help - and getting it early - is critically important. The sooner homeowners recognize they may be at risk and seek help, the more options they have to avoid foreclosure.
