Foreclosure Defense in Florida
Under Florida law, there are a variety of defenses a homeowner can use to potentially stop the foreclosure proceedings against them and save their home. While these defenses may seem confusing, the legal team at DJS Law Group has the knowledge and experience to guide you through the process. Some of the most common foreclosure defenses are:
- Unclean Hands - The idea of the unclean hands defense is that the party initiating the foreclosure proceedings must not have done anything fraudulent, illegal, or oppressive in order to bring the proceedings.
- Improper Accounting - Federal law requires mortgage loan servicers to comply with 12 U.S.C § 2605 when accounting credits and charges to a loan. If a homeowner can show that these procedures were not followed, they may be able to win their case.
- Failure To Provide Proper Notice - Most mortgage contracts include a condition that requires banks to notify homeowners of default and their intent to start foreclosure proceedings. If this was not done, or was done incorrectly, the homeowner may be able to delay or stop the proceedings.
- Lack of Standing - Standing refers to what person or company is allowed to bring a lawsuit. Because banks often sell mortgage loans to other banks, it can be difficult to know which bank can legally bring the foreclosure proceedings. If the bank bringing the proceeding does not have standing, the case cannot move forward.
