Federal Laws Protecting Homeowners
These federal statutes form the backbone of foreclosure defense. Understanding your rights under these laws can mean the difference between losing your home and keeping it.
TILA
Truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq.)
Requires lenders to disclose loan terms clearly. TILA violations can rescind foreclosure and provide statutory damages up to $4,000.
RESPA
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (12 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.)
Requires servicers to respond to Qualified Written Requests within 30 days. RESPA violations can delay foreclosure and create leverage for settlement.
FDCPA
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (15 U.S.C. § 1692 et seq.)
Protects homeowners from abusive collection practices. FDCPA violations can result in statutory damages of up to $1,000 per violation.
CFPB Rules
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (12 CFR Part 1024)
CFPB servicing rules require loss mitigation review before foreclosure. Dual tracking violations are among the most powerful defenses available.
Additional Federal Protections
HOEPA (Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act), FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act), CARES Act protections, and state-specific foreclosure statutes all provide additional layers of defense. Our team identifies every applicable law for your case.

Homeowner Rights Center
Understanding your legal rights is the first step to defending your home. These are the protections available to every homeowner facing foreclosure.
Right to Respond
In judicial foreclosure states, you have the right to file an Answer to the complaint. This is not optional — failing to respond can result in a default judgment against you, allowing the bank to take your home without a trial.
Learn about judicial foreclosure responseRight to Loan Audit
Under TILA and RESPA, you have the right to request and review your complete loan history. A forensic loan audit can uncover violations that may rescind the foreclosure or reduce your balance.
Explore forensic loan auditRight to Fair Servicing
The CFPB requires mortgage servicers to follow strict rules: no dual tracking (foreclosing while reviewing loan modification), proper loss mitigation review, and timely response to inquiries.
CFPB servicing rules explainedRight Against Harassment
The FDCPA protects you from abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. Harassing phone calls, threats, and misrepresentations by debt collectors are illegal — and can be grounds for counterclaims.
FDCPA protectionsRight to Loss Mitigation
You have the right to be considered for loan modification, forbearance, repayment plans, and other loss mitigation options before foreclosure can proceed. The 120-day rule prohibits foreclosure initiation until you are 120+ days delinquent.
Loan modification reviewRight to Pro Se Representation
You have the constitutional right to represent yourself in court. We prepare your legal documents — you file them as a pro se litigant. This saves thousands compared to hiring an attorney while maintaining full legal standing.
