Foreclosure Defense In South Carolina

In South Carolina, after a lender decides to foreclose on a home, the pending lawsuit will be filed and the homeowner notified within 20 days. The homeowner then has 30 days to respond to the foreclosure notice. If the homeowner cannot resolve the default of his loan, then the case is turned over to a hearing officer who will order the sale of the property.

If you are facing foreclosure due to difficult circumstances then you may want to explore these options. A short sale and deed in lieu of foreclosure are options that help the homeowner avoid foreclosure but still forfeit the home. Traywick Law Offices is dedicated to helping South Carolina homeowners in understanding all of their options and making informed decisions that suit their individual circumstances, needs, and goals.

There are several ways to fight a potential foreclosure, including:

Loan forbearance

➢

Loan modification

➢

Filing for bankruptcy

➢

In loan forbearance, future loan payments are permitted by the lender to be delayed for a period of generally three to six months, allowing the homeowner some breathing room in getting back on his / her feet. These payments are not forgiven by the lender but are allowed to be paid at a later date. If the situation is more severe, then a loan modification or bankruptcy may be more appropriate.

Our Charleston foreclosure defense attorney can negotiate with lenders and mortgage companies for loan forbearance or modification purposes, working diligently to achieve the most reasonable agreement possible for your situation. If these options are not workable, our firm can provide bankruptcy solutions for foreclosure.
