More NH Homeowners In Foreclosure Fight Back With Help Of Long-Time Nationally-Recognized Mortgage Servicing Fraud Watchdog

In Somersworth, New Hampshire, WMUR-TV Channel 9 reports:
  • While more [New Hampshire] residents are facing the possibility of foreclosure, a growing number of homeowners are fighting back. One of their allies is [New Hampshire's] Mike Dillon. Dillon is not an expert or a housing official but he has been successfully staving off foreclosure of his Manchester home for 10 years. Every day, often into the wee hours of the morning, he combs through public notices and other legal websites to find foreclosures in New Hampshire that look worthy of a fight. Dillon said that often, stopping a foreclosure is a matter of checking the paperwork.

  • Porter and Angie Moore, of Sandwich, N.H., took Dillon's advice and took their findings to a judge, who granted them a temporary restraining order that stopped the foreclosure until the lender produces more evidence. The Moores said they don't yet know who owns their promissory note, and multiple lenders have claimed ownership.
