We have been working with the Massachusetts Alliance Against Predatory Lending (MAAPL)<\/a> to create a system to help people who have been foreclosed on illegally challenge their foreclosure. Bill S.1981<\/a> would reduce the time people have to challenge the legality of their foreclosure from 20 years to just one year. Please follow MAAPL’s script below and tell your state senator to oppose this bill today. Thanks!<\/p>\n

Your voice gets results! Call your state Senator. Ask them to\u00a0oppose S1981: It\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/i>doesn<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b>\u2019<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b>t<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b>\u00a0clear title to Foreclosed Properties!<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

If you don<\/span>\u2019<\/span>t know who your state senator is, go to\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/a>www.WhereDoIVoteMa.com<\/a>. Type in your address. It will tell you whom your elected officials are. Click on the name and you will see the phone number.<\/span>\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n

What do I say on the phone<\/span><\/u><\/i>?<\/span><\/u><\/div>\n
\u201c<\/span>Hello, my name is\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/span>. I live in\u00a0<\/span>name of your town<\/span><\/u><\/i>. I<\/span>\u2019<\/span>m calling to ask you to oppose S1981: It doesn<\/span>\u2019<\/span>t clear title to foreclosed properties. My family, friends and neighbors need the right to sue for our illegally foreclosed homes in court.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
Instead, S1981:<\/span><\/u><\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Steals our Constitutional right to protect our property in court<\/span><\/b>\u00a0from illegal bank practices;<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Refuses to notify people that their 20 year window to sue is slammed down to 1 year;<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>And will ruin our housing market when the media report thousands trying to sue in less than a year;<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
68,000 Massachusetts residents were illegally foreclosed: Only a court can sort out this mess!<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Please vote against S1981<\/span><\/u>. Put S871 in its place. That bill creates a special, Foreclosure Review Court. It will clear title and do it fairly.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
As my Senator, will you do that?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Thank you.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
