Foreclosure Counterclaim And Cross Claim

Summary

Borrowers can file counterclaims and cross-claims in foreclosure cases if payments are current. Counterclaims assert wrongful foreclosure against the lender, while cross-claims may target other involved parties. Florida Statutes § 701.02 and § 201.08 require proper filing of mortgage assignments. Failure to provide a payoff statement within 14 days violates Florida Statutes § 701.04. Florida Statutes § 559.72(9) prohibits collecting invalid debts. Violations can be framed in legal complaints to seek remedies like dismissal of foreclosure or damages.
