New Jersey Mortgage Defense Lawyers

Due to the escalating cost of living in the State, New Jersey has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the entire country. There is good news; several ways to defend and/or stop a mortgage foreclosure. Our office commonly engages in Litigation, Mortgage Modifications, and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy to stop foreclosure proceedings for our clients.

State Court Litigation

Before a Civil Complaint in Mortgage Foreclosure can be filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, your lender must a Notice of Intent to Foreclose Letter. This letter serves as a general warning that in at least 30 days, the lender will file their foreclosure Complaint.

The Notice of Intent to Foreclose serves as a warning to the homeowner and provides them with the requisite information regarding how much is delinquent on the mortgage and where to send the delinquency. Most borrowers cannot cure their mortgage delinquency, especially if the mortgage has been unpaid for an extended period.

Upon a Mortgage Foreclosure Complaint being served, the borrower has only 35 days to respond to the Complaint. A Mortgage is a Contract, and a Mortgage Foreclosure Complaint is an allegation that the borrower breached (or broke) the contract by not paying.

The borrower may establish a meritorious defense, such as the borrower made the payments, but the payments were misapplied, or the borrower was under a repayment agreement with the lender when the Complaint was filed. If a meritorious defense can be established, the borrower may move to dismiss the Foreclosure Complaint or possibly file a Motion for Summary Judgment to quash the foreclosure Complaint.

Mortgage Modification

Mortgage Modifications can be very advantageous to a borrower; however, they are at the lender’s discretion. A Mortgage Modification is applied for by the borrower through an application for loss mitigation or borrower assistance.

The goal of a mortgage modification from the borrower’s perspective is to include any mortgage delinquency into a new loan. The “new” loan will have a higher principal balance, but modifications generally include a new mortgage term and a lower mortgage interest rate which cumulatively leads to a lower mortgage payment for the borrower.

Since there is a new term, the lender usually is scheduled to receive a significantly greater sum through the new mortgage term than it would have through the “old” mortgage terms. In times of rising interest rates, mortgage modification terms may not be as favorable for a borrower.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Most people know the word “Bankrupt” from a game show with a wheel. However, Bankruptcy can offer tremendous benefits to a homeowner in financial distress.

When filing for bankruptcy, the automatic stay is imputed. The automatic stay is one of the most powerful tools in all of the law because it STOPS any collection efforts against the bankruptcy filer or their property. Once a Bankruptcy is filed, any lawsuit, collections, or foreclosure proceeding is stopped immediately. After the stoppage of the mortgage foreclosure, the borrower has three to five years to repay any delinquent mortgage payments.

A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is an effective tool to keep one’s home and repay mortgage arrears after a loss of income, increased expenses, or an emergency. Chapter 13 can also reorganize unsecured debts such as credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, and other debts. Meaning, the repayment to the mortgage company becomes a priority creditor and unsecured debts only receive monthly payments based on affordability to the bankruptcy filer.

Chapter 13 is often known as a reorganization of debt and is generally used when a borrower is delinquent on their mortgage but is also facing other debts as well.
