Act 91 Notice and HEMAP: A Lifeline for Homeowners

The Act 91 Notice is a crucial legal requirement under Pennsylvania law for mortgage lenders seeking to foreclose on residential properties. It is a signal from your lender that they intend to initiate foreclosure proceedings if necessary steps are not taken, and a formal notification to homeowners about your rights.

Receiving an Act 91 Notice indicates that your mortgage lender is considering foreclosure proceedings against your property. It is typically sent when you are delinquent on your mortgage payments.

But that doesn’t mean you’re going to lose your home. Credit Counseling Center will work with you to uncover options to keep you in your home.  Applying for HEMAP may temporarily stop a foreclosure action.
