Are you a Pennsylvania homeowner falling behind on mortgage payments? You are not alone. Since 1997, United Capital Mortgage Assistance (UCMA) has helped thousands of homeowners—including many across Pennsylvania—save their homes from foreclosure. Whether you have received an Act 91 Notice or have a Sheriff Sale date scheduled, immediate action is your best defense.

Understanding Pennsylvania Foreclosure Laws (Act 91)

Pennsylvania has specific laws designed to protect homeowners, but you must act quickly.

  • The Act 91 Notice: In PA, lenders must generally send this notice before starting foreclosure. It gives you 33 days to meet with a credit counselor or apply for assistance.
  • Judicial Foreclosure: Pennsylvania is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning the lender must file a lawsuit in court to take your home. This gives you time to fight back, but you need the right representation.

Frequently Asked Questions (PA Homeowners)

Q: What should I do if I received an Act 91 Notice? A: Act immediately. You have roughly 30 days to seek counseling to pause the legal process. Contact us at 1-800-474-1407 to discuss your options for a loan modification.

Q: Can I stop a Sheriff Sale in Pennsylvania? A: Yes. Even if a sale date is set, it is possible to stop it by filing for a loan modification or other loss mitigation options. However, waiting until the last minute decreases your chances of success.

Q: Do I need a lawyer to stop foreclosure in PA? A: While you can hire a lawyer, it is not always necessary for securing a loan modification. UCMA specializes in the financial negotiations required to modify your loan terms, often at a lower cost than retaining a litigation attorney.
