How can you stop a foreclosure sale date once it’s set? If you’re asking this question, you’re likely in a tough spot – but there is hope. At Petroff Amshen LLP, we help New York homeowners stop foreclosure sales through strategic legal action.
Here’s a clear, step-by-step look at how to potentially delay or prevent a foreclosure auction of your home:
1. Act Immediately and Get Legal Advice – Time is your enemy when a sale date is scheduled. The first step is to consult a foreclosure defense attorney to evaluate your case.
2. File for a Temporary Restraining Order or Stay – In New York, courts can issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop a foreclosure sale. We will prepare a compelling emergency application to the court, explaining why the sale must be stopped.
3. Challenge the Foreclosure in Court – Our attorneys will aggressively defend you in the foreclosure lawsuit. Winning the war means challenging the foreclosure itself.
4. Explore Loan Modification or Resolution – Parallel to the legal fight, we consider solutions like loan modification to resolve the foreclosure.
5. Leverage Every Legal Protection – A foreclosure sale can be invalidated if the lender didn’t provide the required 90-day pre-foreclosure notice or if they failed to send notices in the borrower’s primary language when required.
