Questions about banking and financial services
Can an auction be stopped?
Sometimes. If the lender has not followed the required notices and process, the court can stop a sale. Bring every notice you received as soon as possible — timing matters.
Do you act for banks or borrowers?
Both — but never on both sides of the same transaction. A conflict check runs before we take on any matter.
