Your rights with mortgage lenders & servicers

Your mortgage servicer must correct errors you report in a written notice of error and answer written requests for information, usually within 30 business days. It must apply payments on the day they arrive, and it generally cannot start foreclosure until you are more than 120 days behind or while a complete loss-mitigation application is pending.

Scam warning: Be careful of anyone who charges up front to save your home, tells you to stop paying your servicer, or asks you to sign over the deed. HUD-approved housing counselors help for free.
