Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Subject: Request for Verification of Debt and Immediate Cessation of Foreclosure Proceedings — Chicago, Illinois [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Foreclosure Attorney's Name] [Foreclosure Attorney's Law Firm] [Address] [City, State, Zip] Re: Verification of Debt and Cease Foreclosure — Loan Account Number: [Loan Account Number] Dear [Foreclosure Attorney's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request the verification of debt associated with the aforementioned loan account along with an immediate suspension of any foreclosure proceedings. It is my sincere belief that my rights as a debtor under state and federal laws have not been fully protected or adhered to throughout the foreclosure process. I understand that as the foreclosure attorney representing [Lender's Name], your duty is to ensure that all necessary legal procedures have been followed accurately and in compliance with the law. In light of this, I kindly request your assistance in providing the following information and documents to validate the legitimacy of the loan and pending foreclosure: 1. Verification of Debt: Please provide the complete loan history, loan origination documents, including the promissory note, mortgage, and any assignments or transfers of the mortgage or servicing rights. 2. Chain of Title: Please furnish a clear and documented chain of title showing that the entity foreclosing on the property has the legal authority to proceed. This should include a record of any transfers, sales, or assignments of the mortgage or servicing rights from the original lender to the present mortgage holder. 3. Proof of Standing: I kindly request valid proof that the entity initiating the foreclosure is the current owner and holder of the mortgage, and therefore has legal standing to foreclose on the property in question. 4. Compliance with Foreclosure Procedures: I would appreciate a comprehensive outline of the foreclosure process undertaken so far, including details of any notices, hearings, or other required legal proceedings that have been duly followed. 5. Loan Modification Opportunities: Should it be determined that the foreclosure proceedings are valid, I would like to explore potentially viable alternatives to foreclosure, such as loan modification options. If such opportunities currently exist, please outline the necessary steps and requirements. I urge you to acknowledge receipt of this letter within [number of days] as required by law, and provide me with a clear timeline outlining when I may expect a response to my requests. Failure to comply with this legal obligation may result in further action to protect my rights as a borrower. Please note that this letter is not intended as an admission of liability or a waiver of any legal rights afforded to me under applicable state and federal laws. I reserve all rights to challenge any inaccuracies or non-compliance in relation to the foreclosure process. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to receiving the requested information at your earliest convenience. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, [Your Name]
