Foreclosure Modification Boynton Beach

Foreclosure Modification Boynton Beach

While the federal government mulls its approach to reducing foreclosures in Boynton Beach, California’s governor is moving forward with new legislation designed to encourage lenders to aggressively modify mortgages, according to Carolyn Said, staff business reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle. The new law would apply to owner-occupied homes and would, in effect, mandate an additional 90-day delay to an already lengthy foreclosure process — unless the lender seeking the foreclosure has an “aggressive modification policy” in place.

While the HUD letter doesn’t constrain holders of non-FHA insured mortgages such as Bank of America/Countrywide, these and other lenders will often follow HUD policies, making it likely that you won’t miss out on a mortgage modification opportunity if you decide that filing bankruptcy is in your best interest.

Other states are taking similar actions. For example, both New York and Massachusetts have recently enacted laws requiring 90 days advance notice before foreclosure proceedings can be commenced. As with the proposed California legislation, these 90-day advance periods make foreclosure more expensive (because the lenders typically receive no payments during these periods) and may encourage them to also adopt “aggressive” modification polices  Boynton Beach.
