Dealing with Mortgage Fraud?
Carefully examine the Foreclosure Complaint Letter. File an answer to the complaint.
Concisely deny any allegations in the complaint that are false. Establish any affirmative defenses which may be applicable as follows:
(a) the mortgage was entered into fraudulently or in violation of the Truth in Lending Act
(b) the lender failed to comply with applicable notice periods
(c) the lender failed to personally serve the foreclosure summons and complaint.

Above all act quickly.
