Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/12/2015 -- California has some of the best foreclosure laws in the country, designed to protect borrowers from illegal foreclosure practices. The Home Owner Bill of Rights [SB900] makes it illegal for lenders to foreclose on a home owner without first contacting the struggling borrower to offer alternatives to foreclosure. In California, if a lender does not comply with the very strong SB900 requirements, the borrower can sue the lender to stop foreclosure.
There are common mortgage fraud violations that subject lenders to a lawsuit:
Dual tracking – This type of fraud is related to foreclosure in which the lenders proceed foreclosure while offering to loan modification.
Negligence – This happens when the lenders tell that the homeowners's modification documents is lost or they never received it. Other form of this fraud is the lenders tell that the borrower is qualified for a modifictaion but then they want the borrower to apply again.
Estoppel – This one may be the annoying type of mortgage fraud because after the long wait, the lenders tell that the modification documents is denied.
Inserting unconscionable waivers – Mortgage servicers may try to insert waivers into loan modifications where homeowners agree to release the legal claims.
Baiting - It is very common for lenders to tell homeowners they have to be in default because the borrower can not get a modification unless they are behind on their mortgage payments.
When mortgage fraud happens, the first thing to do is contact an experienced mortgage attorney. When homeowners do not take action, they may end up in foreclosure or, worst case scenario, they may miss the chance to pursue other alternatives to stop foreclosure.
