A forensic loan audit reviews every line of your mortgage documents — and frequently uncovers errors and violations that can stop a foreclosure or build real leverage.
We trace every document, payment, and fee to find errors and illegal charges.
Standard audits take 2-4 weeks; rush audits 5-7 business days when a sale is imminent.
Audit findings can halt a foreclosure sale pending resolution of violations.
Servicers often negotiate when confronted with documented violations.
We examine your entire loan file for violations and turn those findings into defense strategies and negotiation power.
Note, mortgage, disclosures, payment history, force-placed insurance, and all servicing records.
We verify disclosures, fees, payment application, and escrow for every possible violation.
We trace assignments to confirm the party foreclosing actually owns your loan — and find standing defects.
We build TROs, injunctions, affirmative defenses, and negotiation leverage from the documented violations.
A forensic loan audit is a line-by-line review of your mortgage documents, payment history, and servicing records to identify errors, violations, and illegal charges. Many homeowners facing foreclosure don't realize their loan contains errors — and those errors can form the basis of a powerful foreclosure defense. At Dream Financial Management, our loan audit service has uncovered violations that stopped foreclosures dead in their tracks.
Verification of the Truth in Lending disclosure statement: finance charge accuracy, APR calculation, payment schedule, and Notice of Right to Cancel. Errors here can support rescission.
Review of servicing history for RESPA violations: improper fee assessments, escrow analysis errors, and payment misapplication.
Every payment traced from receipt to application (principal, interest, escrow). Misapplication is surprisingly common — and each error affects the claimed default amount.
Late fees, inspection fees, BPO fees, attorney fees, and force-placed insurance charges audited for reasonableness and contractual/statutory authorization.
Verification that the party foreclosing actually owns your loan. Broken assignments, robo-signing, and MERS defects can defeat standing to foreclose.
Audit findings can support: (1) a TRO halting the sale pending resolution of identified violations, (2) a preliminary injunction arguing the claimed default amount is incorrect, (3) affirmative defenses in judicial foreclosure, (4) wrongful foreclosure claims with actual damages, and (5) settlement leverage — servicers often negotiate when confronted with documented violations.
Our forensic audit identifies violations that can stop your foreclosure and give you negotiation power.
