If a foreclosure case has been filed
Gather the county, complete index number and year, plaintiff and defendant names, property address and every deadline or court date. These details help identify the correct public record.
If you only have mortgage notices
Keep every letter, call the mortgage servicer using a verified number and ask a nonprofit housing counselor or licensed attorney about the available next steps.
Use the right kind of help
A public-record review can organize case information. Legal advice, defenses, court filings and representation must come from a New York-licensed attorney or an authorized legal-services provider.
Information to gather
- Mortgage and servicer notices
- Complete index number and county
- Homeowner and property information
- Court dates and deadlines
- Income and hardship documents
Important: Foreclosure Case Review provides general information and reviews available public records. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. A request does not create an attorney-client relationship, file a court response or pause any deadline. For an urgent deadline, auction or court appearance, contact a New York-licensed attorney promptly.
