BLOG: DE AG Holds More Save-Your-Home Workshops

By Jim Donovan: Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden announced today that several of the nation's largest mortgage lenders will participate in workshops his office is organizing next week to help Delawareans at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure.

Scheduled for November 14 in Georgetown and Milford and November 15 in New Castle, the workshops are offered to facilitate loan modifications, reduce foreclosures, and provide information to help residents stay in their homes and avoid foreclosure fraud.

The workshops are intended to give homeowners the opportunity to meet fact-to-face with their lender to discuss repayment options and other questions they may have. Homeowners who are worried about missing mortgage payments or face foreclosure should attend and get connected to the many services available to them.

Walk-ins are encouraged.
