HomeForeclosure Defense – Deficiency Judgment Advice

Deficiency Judgment Lawyer

Larry Tolchinsky knows how to help.

Our goal is to prove to the Judge that Dyck O’Neal or Clearsping/Vantium, or any other debt collector, often does little or nothing to verify that the amount of the debt is correct. Meaning, debt collectors do not do enough to determine if Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) paid all or part of the debt or if the debt was paid or satisfied by other means, including through state and federal debt forgiveness programs. In fact, we believe, based upon a review of documents provided by existing clients and through discovery, that these debt collectors do not conduct an adequate investigation to determine that the amount of the debt being collected is correct. Therefore, Judges should not exercise their discretion of granting a deficiency judgment.

How Do We Help Defend Your Deficiency Lawsuit?

The discovery that fraudulent documents were being filed in foreclosure cases has provided former homeowners an opportunity to defend themselves against lenders attempt to pursue a deficiency judgment against them. Now, it may be possible to re-litigate issues in the underlying foreclosure cases, including the use of incorrect or fraudulent affidavits. By doing so, a lender may, among other things, lose their right to pursue a deficiency judgment against a former homeowner because the amount stated in the affidavit as being due and owning is incorrect (and/or the bank didn’t do enough to properly investigate if the amount due is correct).

Why Sackrin & Tolchinsky?

What sets us apart from other deficiency judgment lawyers is our level of experience and knowledge. We examine the foreclosure documents and the deficiency lawsuit to determine whether the party seeking the deficiency has the right to obtain a deficiency judgment. Each investigation requires an understanding of timely filing and recording requirements and the debt verification process to determine if the lender can be prevented from obtaining a deficiency judgment and/or determine if there is a basis to ask the court to not exercise its discretion in awarding a deficiency judgment. We also know the formalities that a lender must follow to reserve jurisdiction to obtain a deficiency judgment and the potential waiver of those rights if the foreclosure was uncontested.
