HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN FORECLOSURE

New York State Law requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure process. Please read it carefully.

SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT

You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the summons and complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the summons and complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself.

SOURCE OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE

The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process.

To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services at to 1-800-269-0990 visit the Department`s website at www.dfs.ny.gov.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS

Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

The foregoing Summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of Honorable Tracy A. Bannister, Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, signed on the 10th day of April, 2014, in Buffalo, New York and to be duly entered in the Erie County Clerk’s Office, in Buffalo, New York. The Nature of this action pertains to a note and mortgage held by Plaintiff on real property owned by the defendant, MICHAEL C. BARRETT. The said defendant has defaulted on the note and mortgage and the plaintiff commenced a foreclosure action. Plaintiff is seeking a judgment foreclosing its mortgage against the real property and premises which situates in the City of Buffalo, County of Erie and State of New York and is commonly known as 321 Mckinley Parkway, Buffalo, New York 14220 and all other relief as to the Court may seem just and equitable.
