Protecting Homeowners Since 2008
If you are waking up in the middle of the night stressed about whether or not you can keep your own house, give us a call and sleep a little easier. At Dublin Packard, we started helping homeowners fight against foreclosures in 2008 – right in the middle of a major economic crisis. That means we know a thing or two about it by now. See the different ways we can help below, and contact Dublin Packard today to get the help you need.
Stop the Sheriff’s Sale
If you have a Sheriff’s Sale scheduled for your home, it is not the end of the line. In New Jersey, every homeowner can ask the Sheriff’s office for two adjournments of the Sheriff’s Sale. Each adjournment delays the sale by 30 days. This gives you a potential 60 days to determine what your best option is moving forward, whether that be loan modification, bankruptcy, or any other methods to save your home. We can help you delay the Sheriff’s Sale and choose the next step from there.
Foreclosure Complaint
If the Sheriff’s office has served you with a Summons and Complaint in Foreclosure, there is no time to waste. You must file an answer within 35 days of receiving the Complaint in order to avoid a Default Judgment. If you have received a Complaint, contact us immediately so we can get the jump on your response. We can help you along your repayment path!
Foreclosure Process
If you miss three mortgage payments or your account has been delinquent for over 120 days, your mortgage lender will begin the foreclosure process. First, you will receive a Notice of Intent to Foreclosure form that will give you at least thirty days to resolve the issue. If you are unable to work out a solution, you will receive a Summons and Complaint in Foreclosure, which you have 35 days to respond to. If you cannot resolve the issue, the court will side with the lender and schedule a Sheriff’s Sale of your house. At any point in this process, contact Dublin Packard to get the help you need.
How Long Will It Take To Kick Me Out of My House?
In New Jersey, the timeline of the foreclosure process depends entirely on when things are responded to and how quickly they are sent out. At the least, you could have a Sheriff’s Sale ruled against you six months after missing your first mortgage payment. Once the Sheriff’s Sale is determined, it must be completed within the next five months – and it could happen the very next day. Contact Dublin Packard to help assess your options and buy yourself some time.
Repay My Debt and Protect My Assets
If you have a Foreclosure looming against you, there are a wealth of options available to help you repay your debt. We can help you work with your lender to receive a Loan Modification and make the payments more realistic. We can help you look at Bankruptcy options, which help people get a fresh start on their financial lives. We can help you find other inventive ways to repay your debts and protect your assets, like your house, your car, or even your wedding ring. Contact Dublin Packard today to discuss your options!
Loan Modification
Loan Modification is a great option for those who may not be comfortable with Bankruptcy or have exhausted other options. However, the process for a Loan Modification in New Jersey is excruciating. We work with families all the time who have tried to work out a Loan Modification on their own and simply given up at some point in the process. At Dublin Packard, we know how to get you through the Loan Modification process effectively. Contact us today for help!
