Free legal help for foreclosure defense and consumer rights.
Who is this for?
This resource is designed for homeowners facing legal action:
Homeowners Who Received a Court Letter: Individuals who have been served with a foreclosure notice or summons and need to understand their legal rights.
Those Who Can’t Afford an Attorney: Low-to-moderate income homeowners who need professional legal representation but cannot pay for private counsel.
People Unsure How to Respond: Homeowners who received legal paperwork and don’t know what steps to take or what deadlines they’re facing.
How This Resource Works
The Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network (PLAN) provides free legal assistance to homeowners dealing with foreclosure proceedings and consumer rights issues. Case Review: A legal aid attorney reviews your foreclosure documents, court filings, and mortgage history to identify potential defenses or violations by the lender. Court Representation: In qualifying cases, PLAN can represent you in court, file responses on your behalf, and negotiate directly with the lender’s legal team. Rights Education: PLAN explains your rights under Pennsylvania foreclosure law, including mandatory mediation requirements and notice periods that lenders must follow. Referral Network: If your case requires specialized assistance beyond PLAN’s scope, they connect you with other legal organizations and housing resources in your area.
