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 conrplaint 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 Iegal 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
foreclosnre. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid
office, there are governnrent 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 l-800-
342-3736 or visit the Department's website at llww.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
Be careful of people who approach you with offers to "save" your home.
These 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.
