by Donna Steenkamp Head of Research, Livinglies.me One of the biggest myths in foreclosure defense litigation is believing that if the bank or servicer says your loan was placed into a securitized trust, then the case is over and they automatically have legal standing. That could not be further from the truth. A securitized trust […]
Most homeowners walk into court assuming one thing that is almost always wrong: that a company like Shellpoint , trying to take their home, actually has the legal right to do it. That assumption is the entire game. Companies like Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing depend on it. They rely on the court—and the homeowner—not looking too […]
Homeowners are often pushed into one path: “Just apply for a modification.” Sometimes that helps. Sometimes it’s a trap that burns your time while the foreclosure machine keeps moving. What a loan modification is (in plain English) A loan modification is a new agreement—if you actually get it in writing, signed, and honored. But “under […]
Why can some homeowners get the cases against them dismissed? Foreclosure cases are treated like it’s automatic by the pretend lender. File papers, get judgment, sell house. That’s the script. But when a homeowner (or their lawyer) forces the plaintiff to prove the case with real evidence, many foreclosures fall apart. This isn’t theory. It’s […]
Foreclosure defense is not magic. It’s not a trick. It’s not pretending you don’t owe money. It is one thing: making the foreclosing party prove its case with admissible evidence. Most foreclosure mills run on speed. They file thousands of cases using templates. They expect homeowners to panic, miss deadlines, or argue the wrong issues. […]
If you’re reading this, you’re probably facing a foreclosure notice, a lawsuit, or a sale date. And you’ve been told the same thing everyone gets told: “You’re behind, so they can take the house.” That statement is not the law. It’s a sales pitch. Foreclosure is a legal action. In court (and even in many […]
“Standing” is not a cute argument. It’s not a loophole. It’s the first question the court is supposed to ask: Who has the legal right to enforce this debt? What standing really means Standing means the party suing you (or conducting the sale) must prove it has the right to enforce. If they can’t prove […]
If your sale date is close, you need two things at the same time: Most homeowners only do the first part. They scramble for a “quick fix” and ignore the evidence. That’s how people lose their homes. What actually stops a foreclosure sale? In the real world, a sale usually stops for one of these […]
Let me say this plainly. Homeowners do not lose foreclosure cases because they are wrong. They lose because they use the wrong strategy. And one of the most common mistakes we see is this: adding causes of action that sound powerful — but actually weaken the entire case. This happens frequently when pro se litigants […]
