Foreclosures and Loan Modifications Up

On January 5, 2012, in Foreclosure, by Robbie L. Vaughn, Esq.

Foreclosures are up.

According to several recent news articles and reports,  it appears that foreclosure actions are once again on the rise. Fortunately, we have noticed much of an increase in foreclosure actions being brought.  At any rate, this is still troubling news.

Loan Modifications are up.

At least in our office, we have seen an increase in Loan Modifications. Many of our clients have recently received loan modification offers. Many of the offers are for a HAMP trial modification. However, we have received some permanent in-house modification offers.

Each case varies:

  • Some cases involved lengthy litigation (years).
  • Some cases were resolved in a matter of months.
  • Several of our clients had already filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy
  • Most, if not all, of our clients were previously turned down for a loan modification.

Note: Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Landlord must provide heat

On July 19, 2011, in Landlord-Tenant, by Robbie L. Vaughn, Esq.

In the recent case of Olszewski v. Neuman, 2011 NY Slip Op 51287 – NY: Dist. Court, Nassau County, 1st Dist. 2011, the Court found that the Landlord’s failure to make repairs to the boiler and provide heat for 1 month, during the required heating season, was a constructive eviction.  Therefore, the Court ruled that the tenants were justified in moving out before the termination of the lease (“breaking the lease”), and were entitled a full refund of their security deposit.

Debt Collection Lawsuit Defense

On July 7, 2011, in Debt collection defense, by Robbie L. Vaughn, Esq.

We have been successful in getting debt collectors to drop their lawsuits against our clients.

In a recent case of ours, the debt collector filed a 1 page complaint seeking thousands of dollars in alleged unpaid charges. We defended the debt collection lawsuit by filing a  21 page response. A few weeks later the debt collector voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit with prejudice.

Most of us have heard that banks are having trouble foreclosing on home loans because they can’t “produce the note.” Well, debt collectors are having similar issues. Basically, debt collectors can’t prove that they are the proper party entitled to enforce the alleged credit agreement.

We proudly assist residents of Nassau county, Suffolk county, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, and Manhattan with debt settlement and debt collection defense. Call (516) 858-2620 to arrange a FREE consultation with an attorney!
