Subject: Important Information Regarding Foreclosures and Bankruptcies — Connecticut Sample Letter Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. As the impact of foreclosure and bankruptcy cases continues to surge, we understand the importance of being well-informed and prepared during these challenging times. Thus, we would like to provide you with comprehensive information regarding foreclosures and bankruptcies in Connecticut. 1. General Overview: Connecticut experiences its fair share of foreclosure and bankruptcy cases. When homeowners are unable to meet their mortgage obligations, foreclosures become a possibility. Bankruptcy, on the other hand, offers individuals or businesses a fresh start by eliminating or restructuring their debts. 2. Types of Foreclosure: Connecticut recognizes two primary types of foreclosure: judicial and non-judicial. Judicial foreclosure involves a court-supervised process wherein a lender seeks a judgment from the court to initiate foreclosure proceedings. Non-judicial foreclosure, often used for mortgages lacking a "power of sale" clause, requires the lender to grant the right to sell the property through a specified procedure. 3. Bankruptcy Filings: Connecticut operates under federal bankruptcy laws, providing two common types of bankruptcy filings: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. — Chapter 7 bankruptcy offers individuals and businesses an opportunity to discharge most unsecured debts, including credit cards and medical bills, while some assets may be liquidated to cover outstanding debts. — Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals to create a repayment plan spanning three to five years, allowing them to catch up on outstanding debts while potentially keeping their assets, such as homes or vehicles. 4. Connecticut Sample Letters: a) Foreclosure: (i) Notice of Intent to Foreclose — Use this sample letter if you have received a notice from your lender indicating their intention to commence foreclosure proceedings. This letter explains your rights as a homeowner and provides guidance on possible actions you may take. (ii) Request for Loan Modification — This sample letter can be used to request a loan modification from your lender, aiming to renegotiate loan terms and potentially avoid foreclosure. b) Bankruptcy: (i) Notice of Intent to File Bankruptcy — Use this sample letter to inform your creditors about your intention to file for bankruptcy, allowing them to prepare for the legal process.
