Are you behind on mortgage payments and are being foreclosed on by Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing? Deciding what step you should take next can be hard, that’s why Denbeaux & Denbeaux Law wants to make it easier for you.
Mortgage servicers like Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing must comply with federal laws regulating the foreclosure process in New Jersey that prevent servicers from certain inappropriate practices that violate homeowner rights. Whether or not you should actually be foreclosed on by Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, you may have options.

- Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing declares you in default and threatens foreclosure even though you are up-to-date on your mortgage loan payments
- Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing refuses to honor or review your loan modification
- Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing denies a loan modification
- Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing refuses to accept a mortgage payment or reinstatement
- Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing pursues a foreclosure or sheriff sale while your loan modification application is still being reviewed
Dealing with Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing can be stressful. Make sure you have an experienced foreclosure defense attorney by your side that will navigate you through the process and give you a fair chance at obtaining a reasonable outcome.
Who Is Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing? Why Are They Foreclosing On My Home?
A mortgage servicing company, also known as the mortgage servicer, is the company that handles your mortgage loan and often gets confused with the owner of the loan.
The owner of your mortgage loan is the bank or mortgage company that originally gave you the mortgage loan that allowed you to purchase your property. Some owners will also be the mortgage servicer of your loan, but some owners hire a second party to act as the servicer of the loan.
If you have received a Notice of Intent to Foreclose or other notices from Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, they may or may not own your mortgage loan. However, failing to act when you receive a notice of foreclosure from Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing immediately may result in a foreclosure in as little as 6 months.
In most cases, the foreclosure process can be time sensitive and require that homeowners communicate with their servicers as soon as possible in order to get the best results. It’s important to know who your mortgage servicing company is from the beginning so you know who to reach out to for important information regarding your foreclosure and loan modification options.
