Queens Bankruptcy Attorney Bruce Feinstein, Esq. Discusses Updates to the Home Affordable Refinance Program

Posted on by


Queens, NY (PRWEB) May 08, 2013

The Federal Housing Finance Agency announced that it is extending the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) through December 31, 2015. HARP was set to expire at the end of 2013. As a bankruptcy lawyer in Queens, New York, Bruce Feinstein, Esq. answers many clients questions about their homes and how to keep them during financial strife. Oftentimes their houses are underwater, or worth less than the amount owed on their mortgage, and HARP can be a valuable source of aid.

Mr. Feinstein explains that programs like HARP help owners with mortgages through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac refinance their home loans. Certain criteria need to be met before assistance can be given. Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac must own the mortgage in question, and it needs to be from before May 31, 2009. The homeowner must also be up to date on mortgage payments, and the current loan-to-value ration needs to be larger than 80%.

Individuals who qualify for HARP can refinance for a mortgage with a lower interest rate, lower payment, or even a shorter mortgage period. This alleviates much of the pain associated with an underwater home. The FHFA extended the program because it knew that HARP helped both troubled homeowners and lenders. According to a recent article on HousingWire, as of January 2013 over 2.2 million borrowers have refinanced using HARP since it began in April 2009.

While this is great news for those involved with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgages, there are still many homeowners who dont qualify. Mr. Feinstein says that there are options avilable to those who are at risk for foreclosure or repossession. Chapter 13 bankruptcy will stop foreclosure proceedings and give the homeowner the opportunity to create a new payment plan and keep their home. A loan modification will change the terms of a mortgage in order to make the loan payments more affordable and avoid foreclosure. Or the homeowner can go through a short sale, in which they agree to sell the property for less than the remainder due on the mortgage, with the proceeds going to the lender.

There are various options available to people struggling with mortgage payments. Fortunately, HARP will be around through 2015 to offer more assistance to homeowners. And other options ranging from filing for bankruptcy to applying for loan modification can help at-risk homeowners. Every case in unique, so Mr. Feinstein recommends working with an attorney to find the best financial solution.

Bruce Feinstein, Esq. has worked with hundreds of individuals to help them avoid foreclosure. Mr. Feinstein and his team, located in Queens, New York, work with clients throughout Kings, Queens, and Nassau counties. Visit the Law Offices of Bruce Feinstein, Esq. at http://www.bfeinsteinesq.com or call (718) 514-9770 to reach his New York office.







To Help North Carolina Homeowners Avoid Foreclosure The McCann Law Group LLP dba Consumer Attorney Services Added Brice Bratcher of Counsel in April

Posted on by


Jacksonville, Florida (PRWEB) April 18, 2013

Consumer Attorney Services added attorney Brice Bratcher of counsel to their national foreclosure defense team in April to help North Carolina homeowners fight foreclosure. Consumer Attorney Services knows Bratchers experience in foreclosure defense and varied working career within the legal community makes him a great fit for their foreclosure defense team.

Bratcher managed law firms including North Carolina Senator Doug Bergers office for two years and Mediation, INC., a law firm which handled court ordered mediations on the state and federal levels. He also worked for the Howard, Stallings, From and Hutson law firm as a department manager for three years before attending law school.

Bratcher graduated cum laude from the North Carolina Central University School of Law where he received his Juris Doctorate. While in law school, he was an active leader in student government and a two-time member of the moot court team. He also participated in the Saul Lefkowitz Intellectual Property Moot Court Competition.

Consumer Attorney Services noticed many North Carolina homeowners were still having serious issues in dealing with their banks despite a recent settlement to help homeowners in foreclosure. Consumer Attorney Services selected Bratcher to address these problems.

The recent $ 25 billion mortgage settlement was geared towards motivating banks to do a better job helping homeowners, but some homeowners in North Carolina are still battling with foreclosure difficulties. One major problem lies in the banks ability to continue moving forward with foreclosure actions while homeowners file paperwork to apply for a loan modification.

An April 2013 article titled One Year After Mortgage Settlement, Frustrations Linger For Troubled Borrowers, on the Charlotte Observer website touched upon this problem in saying, Janet Menetrier was surprised to be served a foreclosure notice on her Charlotte home in early December, just three months after Bank of America promised her a loan modification over the phone.

Consumer Attorney Services believes their addition of Bratcher will help more homeowners in North Carolina find foreclosure solutions without the banks ripping the rug out from under them. With legal representation and an understanding of the North Carolina foreclosure process, homeowners can prepare themselves to avoid foreclosure.

Consumer Attorney Services is a full service consumer advocacy law firm headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, helping families with foreclosure defense, debt settlement, bankruptcy law and more.
