Foreclosure

Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS)
Many "MERS foreclosures" across the country are being challenged.

Stopping a Scheduled Auction Sale
Fortunately, the inside wheeling and dealing in the mortgage industry (i.e. the sale, transfer, credit-swapping, creation of credit-derivatives, and other schemes to use mortgage lending to make wind-fall profits) has caused some avenues of defense for the homeowner against being foreclosed on.

Mortgage Loan Modification
Many homeowners are being "duped" by so-called mortgage loan modification offers that, in reality, are only intended to be temporary "payment arrangements" to extract payments under false pretenses.

Strategic Default
It may be better to default on your mortgage even if you have the current ability to make the payments.
