Awareness of Foreclosure Scams in New Jersey: Protecting Your Rights
- Identifying Scams: Common scams include phony counseling, fake “government” assistance programs, bait-and-switch schemes, and lease-buyback scams. Be cautious of entities promising guaranteed foreclosure prevention or demanding upfront fees.
- Verification & Research: Verify the legitimacy of any company offering foreclosure assistance. Check their history, read reviews, and confirm their credentials.
- New Jersey Legal Protections: Familiarize yourself with state laws that offer protections against fraudulent foreclosure practices, including the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act.
- Consulting Reputable Professionals: Always seek guidance from licensed attorneys or HUD-approved housing counselors. They can provide credible advice and assistance in navigating foreclosure.
Educating yourself on these aspects and taking a cautious approach is essential in protecting against scams.
