What are the potential long-term consequences of a mortgage dispute?

A mortgage dispute can have significant and long-lasting consequences, both financially and emotionally. It is important to understand the potential risks and outcomes of a mortgage dispute before entering into this process.

One potential consequence of a mortgage dispute is financial strain. Legal proceedings can be costly, and you may be responsible for paying attorney's fees, court costs, and other expenses. In addition, if you are unable to reach a resolution and your home goes into foreclosure, you may be left with a deficiency balance, which is the difference between what you owe on your mortgage and the value of your home. This balance may be collected by the lender through legal means, such as garnishing wages or placing a lien on your property.

A mortgage dispute can also have emotional consequences, as it can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. The uncertainty of the outcome can cause anxiety and worry, and the legal process can be time-consuming and drawn out.
