Description |
Don’t be guided by incorrect information and assumptions. The most basic foreclosure law, common to every state, gives you substantial leverage with which to protect your rights and your home. Learn your opponent’s weaknesses and your leverage points.
The foreclosure machine often falls flat on its face when challenged to prove it has the right to demand money from you under the threat of taking your home. You have the power to make the machine take that test in a court of law. That may be the best thing for you to do.

What You Will Find In This Book
|
Fighting the Foreclosure Machine is directed to the substantive matters that can let you, as a borrower threatened with foreclosure, better understand your options and improve your likelihood of success should you elect to fight back.
The purposes of this book are to:
- Help you understand your opponent, the mortgage finance industry, its foreclosure machine and the substantial body of law that is there to protect your rights and your home.
- Give you the information that can help you assess whether fighting the foreclosure machine makes sense for you, given your personal circumstances.
- If you decide to fight back, Fighting the Foreclosure Machine is a litigation resource written in plain language to help you and your legal advisor avoid time-consuming and costly duplication of legal research and analysis.

In addition FTFM provides:
A Recipe for the Foreclosure Fight: |
|
- Rule 1: Don't Take Their Word – Demand Proof. Learn the difference between legally significant "fact" vs. what they try to use in court.
- Rule 2: Gather and Use Facts. They have to produce hard, cold facts or they should lose. Learn what facts are important, the necessary facts they don't have, and how to make the machine give you the information you need.
- Rule 3: Make them prove the rights they allege. They say you owe them money or else they have a right to take your home – make them prove both by law. They have the burden of proof on their shoulder. Learn what they must prove with hard evidence and how to help your judge see when the machine can't deliver the necessary proof. Learn how to keep the burden of evidentiary pressure on them, where it belongs by law.
- Rule 4: Don't let them have an easy win. Learn tactics regularly used by the machine to defeat the unwary, and how to avoid those traps.
|
|
- Instruction on how to lay a good foundation for the legal fight.
- Examples and forms.
- Specific strategies that, if properly applied, can help you prevail.

Worth Reading!
[ June 8, 2012 ]
This book is easy to read and has tons of practical information for people facing foreclosure and the attorneys helping them. Mr. Janes stresses that potential foreclosure victims should seek professional help but he also clearly explains why foreclosure has become so prevalent and how to make the decision to fight a foreclosure. His plan to update the information through an e-newsletter is great!

[ June 11, 2012 ]
Mr. Janes does a great job of identifying the weakness in the banks' position and offers very useful and effective tools (including form discovery requests) for battling the banks. Mr. Janes' approach is common sense and old school, 2 + 2 = 4. Useful for the practitioner and Average Joe.

Tells the story of the housing mess we are in
[ July 13, 2012 ]
This book describes the arrogance and complicity of the mortgage banking industry in originating and selling anything and everything to Wall Street, who then peddled it to your 401K and pension plans or to unsuspecting foreign banks. The only good news is that they violated the law in many if not all states, and for a determined consumer willing to fight their oppression, there is a decent chance of keeping their house or obtaining some financial remedy for their improper actions. This book tells you what government won't tell you, to prevent a run on the financial institutions that caused our economic malaise. More >
