As the nation’s foreclosure epidemic continues to worsen, the Center for Responsible Lending has formed the Institute for Foreclosure Legal Assistance (IFLA) to support groups giving legal representation to families facing foreclosure and financial ruin because of abusive subprime mortgages. The National Association of Consumer Advocates will manage the project, which recognizes that one of the biggest barriers families face to avoid losing their homes is the lack of access to quality legal services.

The IFLA has a good resources page with links to helpful sites that provide helpful information on mortgages and loan modification.

And, if you’re a Massachusetts homeowner with mortgage issues or looking for help with a loan modification, feel free to contact Culik Law for a free 20-minute loan modification consultation.
