Foreclosure In Florida – A Detailed Discussion
There is a wide spread law in Florida that prevents from granting judgment summary.
To defeat the judgment summary and bring it to the consumer’s favor is in fact a big achievement. This will surely improve more chance of getting feasible workout and will finally avoid foreclosure.
Getting into more possible ways of making the consumer fall into foreclosure finally increases foreclosure homes in the country. There is a group which helps the consumer attorneys where they help to complete the forensic loan audit and check the documents from the day they applied for it and till date.
One question to be raised at this place is “why the client affected in foreclosure does want these to be done?”
Most of the times, the clients don’t receive proper “pre-closing disclosures” under TILA* and RESPA* especially when a mortgage is involved.
One of the reasons could be that the servicing abuses could have taken place from the day of closing to the present day.
Other reason could be lack of sufficient amount of disclosure violations.
As an example the Escrow mishandling abuses has got a report were people lose their houses to an authorized bank itself. The list may continue like this.
TILA [15 U.S.C. 1640(e)] says that any kind of action under this section can be brought in US district courts. This can be brought to the notice of the court within one year from the date of violation. But the subsections never restrict a person from asserting a violation in an action to collect the debt that is brought more than a year from the date of the occurrence of violation.
A seller can bring the action that caused damages to him within a year from the date of closing of his property or judgment of closing his property. An action on foreclosure is to collect the debt and the consumer can very well bring the claim as a “matter of defense by the recoupment”.
The quantified claim of violation under TILA should be brought as an assenting defense from the attorney that an expert will confirm through an audit report being conducted. This is an issue of fact. There is no need of any summarized judgment. The lender, in fact is expected to bring the action all the means through for a trial. This action should give much and greater influence in order to obtain a work out. At least, this action should help the client and the lawyer much time to work out for things that are favorable in their side. Something should be done to avoid the pre closures so that the complaints about foreclosures can be totally eradicated from the history of every country. After all pre closures are made just to get back the debt lent to the borrowers.
The prompt payment of the consumers will avoid foreclosures. Still on the other hand huge population lose their houses or properties in the name of pre-closures though they make prompt payments but fail to pay back the whole amount at the end.
