How to Dispute Lender Errors

Are you confused about why you are being put on notice for a foreclosure? Mortgage lenders make mistakes. However, these mistakes are not always innocent as they could result in someone losing their home if the mistake is missed. Please keep reading to learn how our Florida foreclosure defense lawyers can combat mortgage lender errors.

Notifying the Mortgage Lender

You must send a letter to your mortgage lender to start a dispute. You must put them on notice that there was an error. You can ask our Florida foreclosure lawyers for advice on how to craft this letter to your mortgage lender. The lender then must notify you in return that the error has been corrected. Conversely, they must inform you that there was no error to fix. Either way, you should be given information on how to follow up with this notice.

Waiting for the Lender’s Response

Once you have sent them this notice, they have five business days to acknowledge the letter. The time in which mortgage lenders have to respond to letters regarding lender errors depends on the type of dispute.

If they receive a dispute about an inaccurate payoff statement, they must respond within seven business days of receiving that letter. If they receive a dispute that they have mistakenly started a foreclosure against you, they must either respond within 30 business days or before the foreclosure sale date. The mortgage lender must respond to any other types of disputes within 30 business days.

When a Response is Not Required

A mortgage lender will not always be required to respond to a notice. If you do not receive a response, it may be because you have already sent a notice and received an answer. It may also be because you were not specific in your notice. Lastly, you won’t receive a response if you are contacting a lender about a loan that has been transferred to another servicer or already paid off.

Please do not hesitate to contact our office to schedule a free consultation if you did not receive a response when you believe you should have.
