Philadelphia Foreclosure Defense Attorneys

Defending PA and NJ Homeowners From Losing Their Homes to Foreclosure

The consequences of the subprime mortgage crisis and collapse of the housing market in 2008 are still felt among many even more than a decade later. In the years since, homeowners have found themselves out of work, underemployed, or otherwise unable to keep up with their mortgage payments for various reasons outside of their control.

Why Should I Hire a Foreclosure Attorney?

Our law firm is dedicated to helping clients who’ve been taken advantage of. Mortgage lending, unfortunately, is an industry rife with opportunity for unscrupulous people to take advantage of others.

We strive to hold predatory lenders and scammers accountable for trying to wrongfully wring vulnerable clients dry of their assets and other financial resources.

Way to Prevent Foreclosure in Pennsylvania

Are you facing foreclosure? It can be incredibly stressful and complicated. One way to defend against foreclosure is by securing a loan through Homeowners' Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program (HEMAP). HEMAP is a loan program designed to help Pennsylvania residents who risk losing their homes to foreclosure because they are unable to make mortgage payments through no fault of their own.

How Does HEMAP Work?

HEMAP works by loaning enough money to approved people to bring their delinquent mortgage current. HEMAP secures its loan with a mortgage on the property that is being threatened by foreclosure. Borrowers will therefore have two mortgages on the same property.

HEMAP has two types of assistance: continuing mortgage assistance loans and non-continuing mortgage assistance loans. Both of these are loans, not grants, which means that borrowers must repay them.

About HEMAP Non-Continuing Mortgage Assistance

A non-continuing mortgage assistance loan brings the homeowner's mortgage current to a particular date. Then the homeowner makes a monthly mortgage payment to their lender and also a monthly payment to HEMAP.

HEMAP Continuing Mortgage Assistance

With a continuing mortgage assistance loan, the mortgage is again brought current to a particular date but also offers continuing assistance for future mortgage payments. The homeowner sends a designated monthly payment to HEMAP. Then HEMAP sends both the homeowner's payment and HEMAP's subsidized funds to the homeowner's lender to make up the full monthly mortgage payment. This is different from a non-continuing mortgage assistance loan because the homeowner does not directly make a monthly payment to his or her own lender.
