Help for Homeowners in Foreclosure
RECEIVED NYSCEF: 07/03/2024
New York State Law requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure process.
Please read it carefully.
Summons and Complaint
You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the summons and
complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the summons and
complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid
office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself.
Sources of Information and Assistance
The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In
addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government
agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible
options, including trying to work with your lender during this process.
To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New
York State Department of Financial Services at 1-800-342-3736 or visit the Department's
website at http://www.dfs.ny.gov.
Rights and Obligations
YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME AT THIS TIME. You have the
right to stay in your home during the foreclosure process. You are not required to leave
your home unless and until your property is sold at auction pursuant to a judgment of
foreclosure and sale.
Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO
TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay property taxes in accordance with state and
local law.
Foreclosure rescue scams
Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are
individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a
homeowner's distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any
suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone
offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services
they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any
money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
