Defending a Foreclosure Action in Nassau County, New York - Attorney Carl E. Person - 212-307-4444

6 Rules for Saving Your Home from Foreclosure and Sale

Here are six rules I urge you to consider when you have been served with a summons and complaint in a foreclosure action in any of the 62 Counties in New York State:

1. You must answer the complaint on a timely basis (usually within 20 days after service, but let your lawyer determine this for you); also, you are better served if you retain an attorney shortly after you receive a Notice of Intent to Foreclosure (which is required under New York law to be served at least 90 days prior to commencement of a foreclosure action).

2. You need an experienced mortgage foreclosure defense attorney to give yourself the best defense;

3. Even if you owe all of the money claimed, you can still have legitimate defenses to the foreclosure action - New York law protects homeowners, but only if you act promptly;

4. Conferencing in a foreclosure action should be understood and closely followed by you, because this court-mandated conferencing is your best opportunity for saving your property, but only if you understand and use the conferencing period, and make sure you do not lose your conferencing rights by non-appearance or by failure to provide information.

5. You have a much better chance of saving your property from foreclosure if you act in accordance with the first four points above; and

6. For your information, New York State is the best state of all 50 states for homeowner protection during mortgage foreclosure actions. Take advantage of these protections. Call me to find out some of these protections and to discuss your situation. Also, you might want to look at some of my 100+ YouTube videos on defending foreclosure actions. A description of these videos with links is available at My 100+ Videos on Foreclosure Defense.

Free eBooklet (273 pages) HOW TO GET RID OF YOUR UNWANTED DEBT (Rev. 5/14) by attorney Carl E. Person

If you are now facing a foreclosure action in any of the 62 Counties of New York State, I will email you a free copy of my 273-page eBooklet entitled "How to Get Rid of Your Unwanted Debt". The eBooklet covers home mortgage debt, credit card debt, student loan debt, and IRS debt. To see the table of contents, click on Table of Contents.

The eBooklet should give you some good information about how to eliminate some or all of your debt. I should add, however, that the section on mortgages deals with saving your mortgaged home from foreclosure instead of trying to have your loan declared unenforceable (something which rarely happens).

To get your free copy, just call me at 212-307-4444 and tell me about the foreclosure action you are now facing, assuming you do not already have an attorney. Too many homeowners fail to hire an attorney to protect their rights, and lose their home as a result. Whether or not you already have an attorney, I'll email you a copy of my eBooklet.

Please include the ZIP Code for the location of your property (and the ZIP Code included in the MERS or Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. database of mortgaged properties (owned by MERSCORP Holdings, Inc., owned and controlled by the major banks) , which should be one of the following for Queens, New York: 11001, 11003, 11010, 11020, 11021, 11023, 11024, 11025, 11030, 11040, 11041, 11042, 11043, 11044, 11050, 11051, 11052, 11053, 11054, 11055, 11096, 11099, 11501, 11507, 11509, 11510, 11514, 11516, 11518, 11520, 11530, 11535, 11536, 11542, 11545, 11548, 11549, 11753, 11756, 11758, 11762, 11765, 11771, 11773, 11774, 11783, 11791, 11793, 11797, 11801, 11803, 11804, 11815, 11819, 11853, 11854 and 11855.

Call me and I'll email you instructions (using your ZIP Code) for finding out if the mortgage note for your mortgaged property purports to be registered with MERS, which is a bank-owned stock exchange for residential mortgages. Incidentally, if you have a second mortgage, the owner of the note may not be the same as the owner of your first mortgage note because of securitization rules for risk distribution which do not permit a securitized pool (with a major bank as Trustee) to own more than one mortgage note from a given ZIP Code.

How You Can Fight Foreclosures in Nassau County

Foreclosures result more from extended wrongful conduct of lenders than any comparable wrongdoing by homeowners. Meaningful reform needs to begin at home, in the towns, village, municipality and hamlet, where concerned citizens can organize and change the rules, to create a better economy for themselves.

In any of the 62 "Cities" in New York State voters have the right to enact laws directly, and should do so. The 62 "cities" are listed at List of 62 Cities in NYS My www.voterslaws.com website provides examples of "ballot initiatives" for creating change in the laws of NYC. There are some changes in law that can be expected to result in an improved economy for voters and other residents of any city in New York State. If you live in a "city" and were an elected executive or legislator in your city, what laws would you like to enact? You can do this through a ballot initiative (see Voterlaws.Com for Local Ballot Initiatives in New York for examples of local statutes that can be enacted by voters directly in city elections). Also, New York Home Rule Law permits voters in each County to participate in making amendments to the county Charter.

If you believe that we need changes, you might want to hitch up with the local Libertarian Party, at:

Nassau County Libertarian Party Mailing List.
