Understand Your Claims

Your Wrongful Foreclosure Claim May Be Worth More Than You Think

When a lender forecloses illegally, you're not just entitled to stop the sale — you may be entitled to damages, rescission, or even possession of your home back. Here's what could be at stake.

Set Aside the Sale

The court may void the foreclosure and return your home if the sale is void or voidable under state law.

Actual & Punitive Damages

Recover lost equity, moving costs, emotional distress — and punitive damages for egregious misconduct.

$55,000+ SCRA Penalties

For active-duty servicemembers, SCRA violations make the sale void with severe civil penalties available.

Attorney's Fees Covered

Consumer laws like RESPA and TILA allow you to recover attorney's fees if you prevail.

Wrongful Foreclosure Claims: How to Sue for Illegal Foreclosure

Wrongful foreclosure occurs when a lender or servicer forecloses in violation of law. Grounds include: procedural defects (improper notice, defective NOD, wrong trustee), statutory violations (RESPA dual tracking, TILA disclosure failures, SCRA violations without court order), breach of contract (violating deed of trust terms), and fraud/misrepresentation. Remedies include: setting aside the sale, recovering the property, actual damages, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees. At Dream Financial Management, we evaluate wrongful foreclosure claims nationwide since 1994.

Time Is Critical: Tender Rule & Statutes of Limitations

Many states require you to "tender" the full loan balance to challenge a foreclosure — a harsh rule. However, exceptions exist: if the sale is void (not just voidable), tender may not be required. Statutes of limitations are short: 1-3 years in most states. If you suspect wrongful foreclosure, act immediately. Delay can waive your claims.

Grounds for Wrongful Foreclosure

Procedural Defects

Defective Notice of Default (wrong amount, wrong address), Notice of Sale errors, improper trustee substitution, failure to mail required notices, recording errors, and violation of state-specific foreclosure statutes. These can render the sale void.

RESPA / TILA Violations

Dual tracking, failure to evaluate loss mitigation, failure to provide denial notice with appeal rights, inaccurate loan disclosures. These federal violations are independent claims that survive foreclosure.

SCRA Violations

Foreclosure without court order on active-duty servicemember. The SCRA makes the sale void — the strongest wrongful foreclosure claim. $55,000+ civil penalties available.
