The Indiana Attorney General says financially stressed Northwest Indiana families need all the protection they can get from mortgage companies racing to foreclose on them.
“I fought long and hard against these mortgage bankers who want to go back to business as usual,” Greg Zoeller said last week.
He said he is lobbying against legislation that would terminate an earlier law that formalized the Mortgage Foreclosure Trial Court Assistance program, a homeowner protection program created during the mortgage crisis since 2010 and still helping thousands of Hoosiers this year.
“There were 1,900 distressed borrowers in Lake County who got a settlement conference, and there were 839 people who got to stay in their homes,” Zoeller said.
