NY Atty. Gen. Fights Zombie Forclosures

In an attempt to help homeowners remain in their homes longer, as well as stop the spread of abandoned properties and eliminate the blight these homes create, the New York state Attorney General has initiated legislation that would specifically allow homeowners to remain in their homes while facing foreclosure until that process has been completed in the lenders' favor. Additionally, it would prohibit lenders from harassing homeowners or other legal residents while they remain in the property pending the final foreclosure decision. If you own or legally live in a home in New York state and are having problems along these lines with your lender or its representatives, give the NY AG a call. It's (800) 788-9898.The address is Office of the Attorney General; The Capitol; Albany, NY 12224. Good Luck.
