Federal Laws Protecting Homeowners

These federal statutes form the backbone of foreclosure defense. Understanding your rights under these laws can mean the difference between losing your home and keeping it.

TILA

Truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq.)

Requires lenders to disclose loan terms clearly. TILA violations can rescind foreclosure and provide statutory damages up to $4,000.

Rescission Rights Disclosure Violations 3-Year Window

RESPA

Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (12 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.)

Requires servicers to respond to Qualified Written Requests within 30 days. RESPA violations can delay foreclosure and create leverage for settlement.

FDCPA

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (15 U.S.C. § 1692 et seq.)

Protects homeowners from abusive collection practices. FDCPA violations can result in statutory damages of up to $1,000 per violation.

Know Your Rights

Homeowner Rights Center

Understanding your legal rights is the first step to defending your home. These are the protections available to every homeowner facing foreclosure.

Right to Respond

In judicial foreclosure states, you have the right to file an Answer to the complaint. This is not optional — failing to respond can result in a default judgment against you, allowing the bank to take your home without a trial.

Learn about judicial foreclosure response

Right to Loan Audit

Under TILA and RESPA, you have the right to request and review your complete loan history. A forensic loan audit can uncover violations that may rescind the foreclosure or reduce your balance.

Explore forensic loan audit

Right to Fair Servicing

The CFPB requires mortgage servicers to follow strict rules: no dual tracking (foreclosing while reviewing loan modification), proper loss mitigation review, and timely response to inquiries.

CFPB servicing rules explained

Right Against Harassment

The FDCPA protects you from abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices. Harassing phone calls, threats, and misrepresentations by debt collectors are illegal — and can be grounds for counterclaims.

FDCPA protections

Right to Loss Mitigation

You have the right to be considered for loan modification, forbearance, repayment plans, and other loss mitigation options before foreclosure can proceed. The 120-day rule prohibits foreclosure initiation until you are 120+ days delinquent.

Loan modification review

Right to Pro Se Representation

You have the constitutional right to represent yourself in court. We prepare your legal documents — you file them as a pro se litigant. This saves thousands compared to hiring an attorney while maintaining full legal standing.
