Making Home Affordable HAMP Litigation

On July 28, 2009, two Minnesota homeowners sued the government alleging that the administration of the federal foreclosure prevention and loan modification program violated their procedural due process rights.  Specifically, the Home Affordable Modification Program does not require the government to provide written notice of the specific reasons for a denial and notice of a right to appeal, a uniform procedure for appealing an adverse decision, and a method to undo a foreclosure that was done in violation of program guidelines or otherwise unlawful.
