4. Foreclosure Mediation: ‘System Is Really A Sham’ (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
Competing accounts of foreclosure mediation inform readers that while some homeowners feel creditors are acting in bad faith, public officials believe mediation has helped many of the 10% of borrowers who have entered the process. Of course, at Freedom Law Firm, we have first-hand experience using foreclosure mediation on a regular basis to help our clients keep their homes.  And those homeowners can attest to the fact that foreclosure mediation is definitely not a sham!

5. Official Says Lenders May Renege On Promises (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
Nevada’s Assembly Speaker and sponsor of foreclosure mediation, Barbara Buckley, stated in a hearing that lenders agree to modify loans during mediation, but then fail to sign the documents.  Other times, they give consumers revised mediation terms, or they come to mediation without all the required documents or worse, negotiating authority.
