FORECLOSURE? Let Us Help?

Personal Responsibility + Community Involvement = FORECLOSURE PREVENTION

The foreclosure prevention crises is hitting our communities like a mental heath patient receiving electric shock therapy; the patient feels disoriented, at a loss of what to do next and paralyzed with fear of being hit with another shock. Many people in our community are facing this same condition today; they are receiving the shock of an adjustable interest rate that has increased their payments by two or three times what they used to pay. Homeowners are at a loss of what to do next because their budgets cannot be stretched anymore. The foreclosure problem is at a full-blown crisis level in our communities. According to Realtytrac.com, in zip codes such as 60651,60622.60647,60639,80621, 6I625, etc. the foreclosure filings for 2007, as compared to filings in 2006, have increased from the hundreds to over a thousand in each zip code or by as much as 600%.

Illinois is joining a national settlement that is the latest step in our effort to assist distressed homeowners

As you know, Attorney General Lisa Madigan has fought many battles in recent years to help keep Illinois homeowners in their homes and to hold banks and Wall Street accountable for their actions. Today, Illinois is joining a national settlement that is the latest step in our effort to assist distressed homeowners in saving their homes and in ending abuses that have occurred too often in the foreclosure process.

After more than a year and a half of difficult negotiations, a nationwide $25 billion settlement has been reached that will help distressed borrowers reduce the principal on their home mortgages, allow underwater homeowners to take advantage of today’s historically low interest rates and pay restitution to people who suffered mortgage-related abuses. Illinois is expected to see approximately $1.2 billion in relief from the settlement.
