Subject: Request for Verification of Debt and Cease Foreclosure — California Sample Letter Dear [Foreclosure Attorney's Name], I am writing to you with great urgency regarding the ongoing foreclosure proceedings on my property located at [Property Address] in California. As per my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FD CPA) and California state law, I kindly request that you provide me with the necessary documentation to validate the debt claimed against me and immediately cease any further foreclosure action. California's law, specifically the California Homeowner Bill of Rights (HBO), requires mortgage services or lenders to provide homeowners with a fair chance to avoid foreclosure through a transparent and proper foreclosure process. It is my understanding that failure to comply with these requirements can render any foreclosure action invalid. I kindly ask that you promptly provide the following information and documentation to substantiate the claimed debt: 1. Valid and Accurate Documentation: a. The original promissory note bearing my signature and any subsequent assignments or transfers. b. A complete and detailed loan history, including all payments made, fees, and any charges applied. c. Proof of proper chain of title establishing the foreclosing party's legal authority and standing to foreclose. d. Any supporting documentation regarding the claimed default and the calculation of the alleged delinquency amount. 2. Compliance with HBO: a. Affirmation that all necessary pre-foreclosure requirements have been met, such as providing a notice of default, opportunity to apply for loan modification or other alternatives, as required by HBO. b. Confirmation that the foreclosure action is being pursued in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws, regulations, and guidelines. c. Disclosure of the specific programs, if any, implemented by the service or lender to assist homeowners in avoiding foreclosure. It is crucial to emphasize that the above-mentioned information should be provided within a reasonable timeframe to allow for a thorough review. In the absence of proper verification of the debt and adherence to applicable laws, I expect you to immediately cease any foreclosure action associated with my property. Please be advised that any failure to comply with these requests may result in legal action being taken against you and the foreclosing party. This correspondence is being sent to you to ensure compliance with all legal requirements and to protect my rights as a homeowner. I kindly request that you acknowledge receipt of this letter in writing within [number of days (e.g., 15 days)]. Failure to respond timely or inadequately may be considered a violation of my consumer rights under the FD CPA and may result in further legal action. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust that you will handle this request with the utmost professionalism and in strict compliance with the law. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
