BLOG: Mortgage Workshops Tues/Wed in DE

By Jim Donovan: Seven of the nation's largest mortgage lenders will meet with Delaware homeowners who face the loss of their homes during statewide workshops scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday.

The workshops have been organized by Attorney General Beau Biden's office and are being offered to facilitate loan modifications, reduce foreclosures, and provide information to help residents stay in their homes and avoid foreclosure fraud.

Homeowners who have missed mortgage payments, are facing foreclosure, or suspect foreclosure fraud can receive immediate on-site help from housing professionals. At each workshop, mortgage servicers, state employees, and HUD-certified housing counselors will discuss mortgage modifications, government homeowner programs, and foreclosure scams.
