Kansas City Lawyers Defending Against Foreclosure

Recently, many banks have been found to lack standing to foreclose on mortgages. Many have not provided the paperwork necessary to proceed with foreclosing on a property. Others have violated the Truth in Lending Act and other laws. For a variety of reasons, homeowners are finding themselves able to avoid foreclosure due to administrative errors and illegal acts by their lenders.

Have you received notice of foreclosure from your lender? At Martin & Wallentine, we can help you determine whether your lender has cause to foreclose on your property. We are familiar with the Truth in Lending Act and other laws that protect consumers, specifically in foreclosure actions. Contact us to speak to a lawyer from our firm.

Truth in Lending Act

Homeowners facing foreclosure may find protection in the Truth in Lending Act (TILA). Under this law, lenders are required to disclose all information regarding the terms of the loan and what you owe.

The TILA requires a more transparent lending system. If a bank or lender is in violation of the TILA, they may not have standing to foreclose on an individual's property. The attorneys at Martin & Wallentine can help determine if your bank has provided necessary paperwork to proceed with the foreclosure process. If not, you may be able to avoid foreclosure and keep your home.
