MILLSBORO, Del.-- Attorney General Beau Biden and his office is sponsoring events statewide to assist homeowners who are behind on mortgage payments, facing foreclosure, or have questions about homeowner resources that are available.
These free events will each feature mortgage presentations as well as open houses where homeowners can meet with staff from the Attorney General's Foreclosure Prevention Office.
The session gives people a chance to ask one on one questions and help educate homeowners about the foreclosure process, including Delaware's mandatory foreclosure mediation program, and help ensure that they have access to all the services and programs available to them.
At each open house, staff from the Attorney General's office will discuss the foreclosure timeline, provide tips on avoiding foreclosure scams, review state and federal programs for homeowners, and brief Delawareans on the national mortgage settlement. Staff may also be able to assist homeowners who are having difficulty reaching their lender to discuss repayment options or other alternatives to foreclosure.
Consumers can contact the Office of Foreclosure Prevention and Financial Education by calling the Attorney General's Mortgage Hotline at 1-800-220-5424.
