REISSUE CREDIT – WHAT IS IT AND WHY YOU SHOULD REFINANCE TODAY

REAL ESTATE LAWYERS – MORTGAGE LAW

Mortgage rates are at an all time low. Some mortgage lenders are even coming up with creative ways to refinance, including 12 year mortgages and zero cost refinances.

In a refinance, a mortgage lender will typically loan up to 80% of the fair market value of your property. That means that whatever the mortgage balance you have today is, the value of your property is what will be the determining factor as to whether you can refinance or not.

In a refinance, the current mortgage loan is cancelled and replaced with a new loan. The reasons for refinancing are to get a better interest rate, better mortgage terms, remove someone from a mortgage or to cash out on the value of the property, so that you can make necessary repairs or even pay off credit card debt. The bank does not limit what you can do with the additional monies and often times borrowers can even use it to purchase other real estate.

In order for a refinance to make sense however, the amount you save, over the life of the loan should be greater then the closing costs associated with the refinance.

Title Companies in South Florida are required by law, to give you a reissue credit, or a reduced fee off the title insurance premium, on a refinance. While many borrowers arent even aware they have the absolute right to choose their own title company to handle the closing, they often allow the bank to choose it for them, which results in higher fees and costs at closing and no reissue credit.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, PA we are full service title company. We can handle your refinance from beginning to end and make sure that your fees and costs are not only reduced to a minimum, but that your reissue credit is honored. This can result in thousands of dollars in savings for you.

Call the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, PA for all your mortgage and refinance needs. We are here to help and come with over 21 years experience in the mortgage and banking industry. The first consultation is always free of charge.

HELOC Home Equity Line of Credit Settlements

DEBT SETTLEMENT – SECOND MORTGAGE AND HELOC SETTLEMENT LAWYERS

If you have a HELOC or Home Equity Line of Credit that is either in default, unpaid, past due or written off with the lender/charged off as bad debt, the lien against your property will remain there, even if the lender is not reporting it on your credit report. Often HELOC mortgages that are unpaid or in default do not engage in collection practices, but rather wait for the borrower to sell their property in order to get paid. Just because the loan is not being reported on your credit report, does not mean it does not exist, nor that the lender does not expect to be paid in full.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline Salcines, PA we have been assisting borrowers with settling the debt owed on Second Mortgages and HELOC loans for over 21 years. We have been successful in settling these suits for pennies on the dollar since often the HELOC Second Mortgage lender does not have their documents in order ( assignments, note, mortgage), the statute of limitations has expired or there is little to no equity on the property. Calculating the Fair Market Value is a very important step in the negotiation and it is important to hire the right professional to make sure repairs, and other significant value mitigators are taken into consideration.

When looking for a professional to negotiate your mortgage debt, make sure that the lawyer has significant experience doing so. At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, PA owner/attorney Jacqueline A. Salcines, Esq. is not only an attorney, but she is also an Accountant and realtor, which provides the necessary tools to determine value, comparative sales and equity. With over 21 years experience in the debt settlement/mortgage industry and 26 in the Accounting business, attorney Salcines and her knowledgeable staff can help you get the best outcome for your HELOC Settlement.

The first consultation is always free and can provide meaningful advice as to how to proceed to settle your debt. Consult today.

SECOND MORTGAGE SETTLEMENT – HELOC LINE OF CREDIT MORTGAGE SETTLEMENT

, ,

SOUTH FLORIDA MORTGAGE AND DEBT SETTLEMENT  LAWYER

SECOND MORTGAGE – LINE OF CREDIT –  HELOC SETTLEMENTS

A HELOC, also known as a Line of Credit Mortgage or Second Mortgage is often “charged off” or appears on a borrowers credit report as “bad debt” or “charge off”. Often, borrowers wrongly assume that the mortgage is then completely forgiven or written off and not collectible.  This is not necessarily true. Often bad debt gets sold on the market and creditors, debt companies and third parties purchase it at a discount. The mortgage remains on the title to the property and is not satisfied or reflecting a zero balance.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, PA, we have over 20 years experience negotiating debt for our clients and have been successful in wiping these HELOC and Lines of Credit Mortgages off or settling them for pennies on the dollar. The most important step and first step is to make sure the debt was transferred to the new owner correctly and that it is in fact collectible. You do not want to settle or work something out on a debt that was never collectible to begin with.

Once we determine it is collectible, then we go to work to have it worked out whether written off or settled for the borrower.

If you have a HELOC or Line of Credit mortgage sitting on your credit report or property, or have been sued in foreclosure recently to collect on the line of credit, call us.

Contact the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, PA today at (305) 669-5280 to schedule your legal consultation.

HOW TO WIN AGAINST DYCK O’NEAL

SOUTH FLORIDA DEBT SETTLEMENT LAWYERS

DEBT SETTLEMENT ATTORNEYS

If you have received a collection notice from Dyck O’Neal, you are not alone.  Thousands of borrowers are finding themselves in a bind upon receiving notice by Dyck O’Neal, that they now owe a deficiency balance to the creditor.  Who is Dyck O’Neal?  Dyck O’Neal is the leading nationwide purchaser, collector and servicer of real estate deficiencies for first and second mortgages, judgments and promissory notes.  The company Dyck O’Neal has purchased hundreds and thousands of bad notes, deficiency judgments and bad debt and has recently begun large collection efforts against borrowers.

A deficiency judgment is the balance that remains after a short sale or foreclosure auction when the mortgage is paid off.  Many borrowers hired attorneys during their foreclosures to negotiate consent judgments at or before their foreclosure trial.  A proper consent judgment should contain language that the bank waives the right to collect the deficiency.  If it does, then Dyck O’Neal is acting improperly to collect the debt.

Moreover, if the final judgment does contain language of the deficiency, then an assignment of the judgment to Dyck O’Neal must exist and the borrower or defendant must, by law, be made aware of that assignment.  If that has not taken place, then the Dyck O’Neal collection is also improper.

Moreover, many Dyck O’Neal suits are protected under HR 87 and have one year to pursue any lawsuit.

These are just some of the many ways to avoid a Dyck O’Neal collection or lawsuit.

If you have received  a collection notice or collection letter from Dyck O’Neal, contact us today. By running your case docket and investigating the language of the final judgment, we can ascertain whether the debt is collectible and valid.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines PA we have a great success rate with these Dyck O’Neal suits, and over 18 years experience negotiating debt settlements for our clients, including  violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

You do not have to file for bankruptcy in order to get out of this Dyck O’Neal debt.

Allow us to go to work for you and negotiate your debt.

How to Settle a Dyck O’Neal collection suit

SOUTH FLORIDA DEBT SETTLEMENT LAWYERS

DEBT SETTLEMENT ATTORNEYS

Clients and potential clients inundated my office with lawsuits and collection letters from Dyck O’Neal.  When I take calls from potential clients they always ask is this letter from Dyck O’Neal legitimate?  Is this a legitimate lawsuit?  A legitimate collection letter?  While not ALL lawsuits and collection efforts from Dyck O’Neal are collectible, Dyck O’Neal is a legitimate company and when they sue, the debt is real.

Dyck O’Neal acquired many loans and deficiency judgments all over Florida and the nation and are now scrambling to collect on them, particularly since Florida has a statute of limitations on deficiency judgment and how long they can be collected.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines PA we start by investigating the debt, the statute of limitations, Florida law, and the collection practices of the creditor to see if there are any violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

Once all this is examined closely by attorney Jacqueline A. Salcines, Esq., many suits will either go away or be dismissed.  Others will remain collectable and in those cases, we can defend you in court in order to obtain the most favorable settlement for you.  Often, this settlement is for pennies on the dollar, since Dyck O’Neal purchases the debt at a discount.

You do not have to file for bankruptcy in order to get out of this Dyck O’Neal debt.

Plus, once you hire an attorney, there are countless ways to get creditors to leave you alone. Merely by hiring us, debt collectors and collection agencies are no longer legally able to contact you.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, P.A., we have been assisting borrowers with their debt settlement solutions  for over 18 years.   You have the right to settle your debt for potions of what you owe.  We are here to help and protect your rights.

Allow us to go to work for you and negotiate your debt.

We offer free phone consultations, and a no cost review of your case.

SHOULD YOU USE DEBT SETTLEMENT COMPANIES ?

SOUTH FLORIDA DEBT SETTLEMENT LAWYERS

DEBT SETTLEMENT ATTORNEYS

If you are facing insurmountable debt, be it from a credit card, a HELOC Home equity line of credit loan, student loans, or other debt, you have probably thought about filing for bankruptcy?  You have probably thought you have no options.  But, there are options. And Many of them do not involve filing bankruptcy or ruining your credit further.  What is the difference between debt consolidation and debt settlement?

Debt consolidation often involves a licensed company that gathers all your credit card debt and bundles it all together. Then the debt consolidation works with the different creditors to lower your interest rate with each creditor.  Once complete, the borrower pays the consolidation company a monthly amount which includes the monthly fee to the consolidation company for their services, plus the monthly amounts to each creditor.  Paying off the debt could last between 15 to 20 years since the balance is not forgiven.  Rather, the interest rate and late fees are negotiated down.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, we engage in debt settlement.  We negotiate the forgiveness of debt with each creditor separately. That means, if you owe one creditor $20,000. we work closely with that creditor to negotiate the payment of the balance due for pennies on the dollar. We work closely with our client in order to preset the most beneficial financial worksheet possible to put you in the best position to negotiate.  Then we get your debt cancelled with either a lump sum payment or payment plan.  This is immediate and the debt is cancelled instead of leaving you with 15 to 20 years of payment

You do not have to file for bankruptcy in order to get out of debt.  New programs exist for mortgage modifications as well as for debt settlement to wipe away credit card debt.

At The Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, PA, we can assist to Stop debt collectors and:

  1. Negotiate complete payoff of your debt for pennies on the dollar;
  2. Defend your foreclosure suit and negotiate HELOC balances for pennies on the dollar;
  3. Negotiate deficiency lawsuit balance;
  4. Defend credit card collection lawsuits and negotiate with the bank’s attorney in the same case;
  5. Stop garnishments of wages and negotiate sums due.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline Salcines, PA, our attorneys have over 18 years experience and extensive  knowledge on settling debt, defending lawsuits involving the collection of debt, and getting borrowers back on their feet, without the necessity of filing for bankruptcy.  We are here to help and protect your rights.

Dyck O’Neal lawsuits on the rise in Florida

DYCK O’ NEAL SUITS

SOUTH FLORIDA DEBT SETTLEMENT LAWYERS

DYCK O’NEAL LAWSUITS FOR FORECLOSURE MORTGAGE DEFICIENCY BALANCES

DEBT SETTLEMENT ATTORNEYS

Dyck O’Neal, a privately owned debt collection company,  approached Fannie Mae years ago, and bought up thousands of stale foreclosure judgments for cheap, since the statute of limitations was about to run out.  Now, Dyck O’Neal is filing hundreds of thousands of lawsuits in counties in which foreclosure occurred forcing borrowers to pay insurmountable amounts on properties they already lost in foreclosure or short sale.

Even if the foreclosure or mortgage debt has dropped off your credit report, that is not a guarantee that it was written off or discharged. Many banks wrote off these loans as uncollectable and then sold to Dyck O’Neal.  Dyck O’Neal then sends collection notices to the borrower. If they are ignored, a lawsuit follows.

That’s where the Law Offices of Jacqueline Salcines, PA comes in. We have fought these Dyck O’Neal suits and settled them for pennies on the dollar. Often, the homeowner is protected under the Foreclosure Act, and Dyck O’Neal must walk away. Other times, they settle for pennies on the dollar.

It helps to have an attorney who is familiar with Dyck O’Neal suits, and how to litigate and fight them.  At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, P.A., we have been assisting borrowers with their deficiency lawsuits and their debt settlement for over 17 years.   You have the right to settle your debt for potions of what you owe.  We are here to help and protect your rights.

DEBT SETTLEMENT ATTORNEYS

In the heels of the foreclosure crisis, when many properties were sold in foreclosure auction, leaving thousands of deficiencies, the banks thought it was too costly to pursue these balances in court.  So Dyck O’Neal approached Fannie Mae and bought up thousands of stale foreclosure judgments for cheap, since the statute of limitations was about to run out.  Dyck O’Neal is bringing these lawsuits in counties in which these foreclosure occurred forcing borrowers to pay insurmountable amounts on properties they already lost in foreclosure or short sale.
