Mortgage Foreclosure Transfer Issues

Summary

If your mortgage was transferred from Ditech to NewRez, Ditech generally cannot continue the foreclosure process. NewRez should be substituted as the plaintiff according to New Jersey Rule of Civil Procedure 4:34-3 and UCC Section 3-301. If the sheriff did not follow the Community Wealth Preservation Program (CWPP) guidelines, you can challenge the sale. Collect evidence of procedural errors and file a motion to vacate the sale, citing violations of your civil rights and CWPP guidelines. Contact the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, the local sheriffs office, and the county court for further assistance.
