No one really is above foreclosure; you have borrowed, you owe, you are yet to make payment, and they cannot wait for you anymore. And so they serve you with the notice. It does not matter that you are a cop, or plumber; but it might make a difference if you are a lawyer. With your knowledge of the legal system, you should have little trouble stopping them.
If your mortgaged property is under foreclosure, then things could have gone sour between you and the holder of your mortgage. Stopping them would involve finding out precisely what the problem is and solving that problem, although I think that if it got as far as the service of the notice, it might have gotten too far already. And if it is money, well, just look for the money.
You can stop the sale of your home by the mortgagee if you know how to hold your own in court. And if you don’t, you must find someone who does. Any kind of help you can get your hands on will go a long way to assist you; just don’t quit at the very first sign of trouble. And there are bound to be a few of those.
The holder of the mortgage on your home is not being mean to serve you a foreclosure after you have failed to make payments for over three months. However, those are your very grounds for making an appeal. There are a few provisions in the law, if you seek them out properly, that will allow the judge cut you some slack with the measures drawn against you.
If the foreclosure on your home is being pressed by a trustee on the behalf of the person you owe money to, you might just be able to use that to your advantage. Some will call it kicking below the belt, but if you are stopping the actions against you, you are well on the right track. Tell the judge you are not going to be talking business with someone who does not know how the business was initiated. That might work; I think.
The money that they get from selling off your property in a foreclosure is supposed to be used to pay off what you owe. But what happens if what you owe is far less than what your home is worth? What happens if it is far more? These questions, by throwing them to the persons trying to foreclose you, might help to radically change the tone of the proceedings.
