How do I keep my house if I've been the victim of predatory lending?

If you've been the victim of a predatory loan you do have an opportunity to keep your house. If you've been a victim of predatory loan there are a number of different remedies that are available to you. One of them is recision, which is a cancellation of the contract, putting you back in the same position that you were in before you ever got the loan. Another solution would be loan modification, which is a reworking of the loan and basically bringing down the interest rate and the principle balance that you owe, extending the term of the loan, and that will give you an affordable payment that you can keep in your house. Even if you've been late and you've been in default for months, you can still potentially save your home if you've been the victim. My name is Damien Nassiri, I'm a partner in the law firm Howard and Nassiri, we're based in Southern California and we help people save their homes.

Can I keep my house if I'm a predatory lending victim?

Whether you can keep your house if you're a victim of predatory lending depends. We've seen people who have lost their house because they were unaware of what their rights are or were, and by the time they found out it was too late, the lenders had already foreclosed and have taken their home. There's a possibility you can keep your house, but that's going to depend on whether you have adequate representation and whether someone is representing your interests, because the lender certainly aren't, they're representing their interest. And one of the ways in which you can keep your house is if you hire an attorney who's skilled in this area of law, who can exercise your rights and help you keep your home. I'm Vincent Howard senior and managing partner of Howard Nassiri. We work hard every day representing the consumer from our headquarters in Orange County California.

How will a loan modification help me keep my house?

A loan modification can help you keep your house because it can get you back on the track of making your mortgage payment every month. It really is going to help the borrower who is in default and is several months behind on their loan, get back in the position where they can afford the monthly payment. And usually this is only a couple hundred dollars, maybe a thousand dollars. If we can get that payment down by that amount, the borrower should be able to make the payment. Most of these borrowers have gone into default because they've gotten themselves into these adjustable rate mortgages that have just adjusted a little bit too high for their monthly budget. If we bring it back in a little bit then they should be able to get back on track and stay current. My name's Damion Nassiri. I'm partner in the law firm Howard Nassiri. We're based in southern California and we help people save their homes. If you've been the victim of a predatory loan or you're facing foreclosure, call us a call.

Who gets to keep the house in Arizona?

In Arizona, how the house is disposed of is very complicated in many cases. A person who is able to refinance the house and actually wants the house will be able to refinance the house and essentially buy out the other spouse from the equity existing in the property. Or, the persons will have to sell the house and any proceeds as a result of equity in the house will be divided equally. But likewise, if there is a deficiency in the property, they will have to split the deficiency among themselves equally. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm.

How long does it take a NY bank to foreclose on my house?

People wonder how long it takes for a foreclosure action to cause them to lose their home. The answer is that if you don't defend you could lose your home in about four months. If you do defend and you lose, you would lose your home in about 14 months. The purpose of defending however, is not to lose your home but in order to reach an agreement in order to save your home.

What happens when police come to your house on a domestic violence call in Arizona?

If a couple, or if a family, gets involved in a domestic violence dispute and the police are called, often times a chain of events occurs that is outside of the control of the individuals who called the police. There are many cases in which partners, spouses, etc. do not want the police to take someone to jail. But once the police have come, once the police have investigated the issue, oftentimes someone will go to jail. And by going to jail, and being charged, there are very serious consequences that need to be discussed immediately upon that happening with the client. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over Arizona in criminal law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence and assault.

Can a renter sue if they've been injured in a fire in New York?

If you've been injured in a fire, you're entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, and your pain and suffering to the extent that that fire was not your fault and that preventative steps could have been taken to avoid the injuries that you sustained. There are a lot of regulations in New York regarding the steps that an owner has to take to make sure that their building is fire safe. Those steps often depend upon when the certificate of occupancy of that building was filed with the building department. But if the owner did not follow the steps that they needed to follow and you were injured as a result, you can get money for your burn injuries. I'm Mitchell Proner.

How can I lower my mortgage payment in New York?

In New York a person can lower his mortgage payment by having a good case to present to the bank that, "I have been sick. I have lost the income." In one case a person's house got a broken back; and as a result it was a structural defect in the house and it caused the house to have half its value. I said, "Negotiate with the bank based upon the new value, and that'll cut your payments in half. You'll only pay half as much and only owe half as much." Facts: The bank wants to listen to facts. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

How can I afford an attorney to help with foreclosure defense?

When people want to keep their house, they think that paying the mortgage every month as long as they can and holding on to the house that way. That's a mistake. They give away their last cent to the bank and they have nothing left with which to defend themselves. So, thinking ahead when you are going to run into a foreclosure situation, precipitate it yourself by stopping payment. Use that money to higher a lawyer. You don't pay during the 14 months of the foreclosure proceeding and you make the bank come to the bargaining table and hopefully get an agreement. I am Carl Pearson, I am a New York Lawyer, and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

What are some common examples of hospital negligence?

There are many incidences of hospital negligence in New York. I have a case where a nurse rather than giving medicine once a week, gave it once a day. That ended in the death of the patient. I have a case where a patient caught on fire in the operating room. There are instances where technicians don't act as they should. Or even in the emergency department, the doctors there are a function of the hospital and if there are errors in the emergency department ordinarily the hospital will be responsible for that.

What's the #1 mistake made trying to avoid foreclosure in NY?

The number one mistake that people make in a mortgage forclosure action is putting their head in the sand and doing nothing about it saying, people say, well your house isn't sold yet so you don't have to do anything. Wrong! When you have an action for forclosure, you must defend it, and if you do, you have a best chance of saving your property, it is very low cost to defend it when you're not in default, it's very high cost and more risky if you are trying to get a lawyer to help you out after you have defaulted. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer, and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

Why are children the most common victims of a dog attack in California?

Children are the most common victims of dig attacks. Because one, usually it is another child bringing the dog out of the house and its not being supervised by an adult. Two, dogs are threatened by small children that are right there in their face and it presents a danger to the dog and a natural attack. And third, children are more apt to instigate the dog just by playing with it and they don't realize the dog is going to attack them. I'm Jeff Roberts, of the Roberts Law Firm.

What medical errors can lead to prostate cancer?

Prostate Cancer is a peculiar type of cancer, in that there are standard tests that are done. Screening tests to see whether there is an additional cancer. The PSA test, is the usual test there's a Pre-PSA test also done and there's a whole level of 4.0's the cut off point when caution needs to be exerted by the physician. And I've seen cases where the prostate has gone, the PSA has gone as high as 18 and the doctors for some reason just over look it and they don't see it. The report gets in the doctor's file. The patient is never contacted, and then when symptoms really start developing, it's too late. I'm Steven North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation.

Chapter thirteen bankruptcy is available, number one, for somebody who has mortgage arrears that they cannot pay, that their house is being foreclosed. And it allows them to do two things.

As a lawyer in Massachusetts representing a Cerebral Palsy victim, we don't just represent the victim, we represent the family. This is an enormous problem for these parents. They come to us, they don't know where to turn, they don't know where to find money for the special needs the child requires.

I've been representing the seriously injured and their families, in Massachusetts, for over three decades.

Can I negotiate a loan modification myself?

Anyone can negotiate a loan modification. The problem is, is that these lenders are so bombarded -- and they are still a little bit reluctant to give the loan modification -- that a lot of times the borrower can the runaround. And the borrower will submit a loan modification application, and the lender never calls them back. Or if they do the lender gives them bad news because their house is worth less than what they owe. And so they give - they tell them they can't get the loan modification. What a lawyer can do is step in and enforce that right. A lawyer can file a lawsuit under the new California loan modification law and have the judge order the loan modification. My name is Damien (sp?) Nassiri.
