HUDtastraphe

Congress authorized $1 billion last July to help unemployed homeowners nationwide who are at risk of foreclosure as part of the Emergency Homeowners Loan Program (EHLP). EHLP was signed into law 180 days ago by President Obama as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

On October 5^th, 2010 the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a press release stating that: "It is HUD's intention for the program to begin taking applications from eligible homeowners by the end of the year."

To date, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) which will administer the HUD loans is still waiting for the money from Washington.

HUD spokesman Brian Sullivan recently stated that "the target is the first quarter of this year."

The EHLP law will provide up to $50,000 in zero-interest loans for each homeowner who qualifies, or who is behind on their mortgage payments due to unemployment, underemployment or medical bills.

Homeowners in Pennsylvania need this money today as there are 13,000 new foreclosure notices sent out every month to residents of the keystone state.

The situation in Philadelphia is even more dire but fortunately Judge Pamela D. Dembe, the president judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia has issued a 30 day moratorium for the nearly 1,500 residential properties in foreclosure.

The time for HUD to act is now. Pennsylvania families threatened with eviction in the winter of 2011 need help today.

To speak directly, one on one, with an experienced and knowledgeable Philadelphia Bankruptcy Lawyer, please contact the Dunne Law Offices at (215) 854-6342. We offer a free initial consultation for all consumer bankruptcy matters.

Student Loans and Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy restructures your debt in order to make financial obligations to creditors manageable. Debts commonly included in Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases are past due mortgage payments, car loans and student loans. Nothing absolves you from having to pay back your student loans, but Chapter 13 helps you get a handle on the payments.

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy may also erase up to 100% of your unsecured debt; credit cards, medical bills, store cards and personal loans.

At present, Americans owe $829 billion in student loans. If a student falls behind in their student loan payments, the Department of Education is legally allowed to implement the following collection methods:

• Wage garnishment without a court order

• Suspension of state professional license

• Garnishment of social security/disability income

• Withholding IRS tax refunds

Chapter 13 bankruptcy stops all of these harsh collection methods and allows a student a little breathing room to pay what they can out of their budget. Many Chapter 13 cases are spread out over 5 years allowing a student plenty of time to discover new career opportunities and live comfortably without suffering from constant threats and harassment by SallieMae.
