HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN FORECLOSURE
New York State Law requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure
process. Please read it carefully.
SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT
You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the Summons and
Complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the
Summons and Complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or
your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE
The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In
addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are
government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for
information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during
this process.
To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the.
New York State Department of Financial Services at 1-877-BANK-NYS (1-877-226-
5697) or visit the department's website at: http://www.dfs.ny.gov
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME AT THIS TIME. You have
the right to stay in your home during the foreclosure process. You are not required
to leave your home unless and until your property is sold at auction pursuant to a
judgment of foreclosure and sale.
Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED
TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay property taxes in accordance with
state and local law.
FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS
"save"
Be careful of people who approach you with offers to your home. There are
individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit
from a homeowner's distress. You should be extremely careful about any such
promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State
law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which
fully
describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which
prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such
promised services.
