Add "foreclosure help line" to the extensive list of catchy 800 numbers being advertised today. Although the phone number has not been established yet, 1-800-4CFRAUD seems like an apt set of digits. That's because the hotline is supposed target homeowners who fear they were harmed by problems in processing foreclosures over the last couple of years.
The telephone number is being established in response to an outcry from residential mortgage regulators to banks to fix the problems in their foreclosure procedures. This comes after finding that nearly 14 lenders filed foreclosures improperly or without the correct amount of man power to handle all of the filings. In response, regulators have expressed a desire to establish a single way to review cases rather than each mortgage company using their own procedure. Hopefully this will provide the necessary consistency and transparency homeowners did not receive when dealing directly with many mortgage lenders.
Contacting a help line is another link that could help stave off foreclosure for many struggling homeowners.
