I am in Florida too, and also facing an Ocwen foreclosure. Have you sent an answer to the courts and to the lender's attorney. Hardship alone is not enough of a defense, you need to raise legal questions in your answer. Did they send you a letter notifying you that they were accelerating the loan prior to filing a lis pendens? Were you a victim of predatory lending practicies? Are they following federal law in fair debt collection practices? Good luck, and feel free to e-mail me if you get more stuck.







I know that just the thought of filing for bankruptcy may be difficult, but if it will keep you in your house, it may be the best course of action.
Filing under Chapter 13, moreover, is entirely honorable. It will not eliminate your debt (to do that, you would file under Chapter 7 - but filing under Chapter 7 will not save your home), but what it will do is give you the opportunity to come up with a plan to pay off your debts (including any unpaid mortgage payments) over five years. You can then keep your home simply by making the regular monthly payments.
As soon as the bankruptcy petition is filed, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court will issue what's called an automatic stay. That means that all of the legal proceedings related to Ocwen's filing will have to come to an immediate stop.
Only a bankruptcy attorney can evaluate whether this is the best course of action for you under your particular circumstances, but it's my sense that a lot of people don't know that it's an option when they're facing foreclosure so I thought I would suggest it to you.
Good luck, and please know that I'll be praying for you and your wife!
