Deadline to Contest Foreclosure

During tough financial times, individuals may find themselves falling behind on important bills such as credit cards, student loans, and mortgage payments. Over time, these overdue payments can snowball into a major financial problem that could significantly affect your future. When a homeowner becomes regularly late on his or her mortgage, the lender may choose to enter into foreclosure and repossess the house. However, it may be possible to stop the bank from foreclosing on your home if you act quickly after you have been served a notice.

The 20 Day Deadline

From the day you receive a notice of foreclosure, you have just 20 days to contest the action and try to keep your home. If you do not submit a response to the court within the 20-day period, you could miss your chance to pursue an alternative and may lose your home altogether. Our West Palm beach foreclosure defense lawyers can help you submit a prompt answer to your foreclosure notice and can help to clarify the alternatives available to you in your current situation.

Exploring Your Financial Options

Receiving a foreclosure notice can be intimidating and it may be difficult to discuss the problem, even with those close to you. However, talking with an experienced foreclosure attorney about your financial situation can help to clarify the options available to you and may help you avoid foreclosure altogether. You may be eligible to take advantage of bankruptcy protections or mortgage modification in order to get your finances back in order and save your home.
