While many loan servicers, and banks, were experiencing increasingly more difficulty in moving their foreclosures forward due to shoddy paperwork, “robo signing”, and faulty legal process, many of them are nonetheless temporarily halting all foreclosure evictions during the holidays. Moreover, some South Florida courts are even canceling foreclosure related hearings and foreclosure sales until after the holidays.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have halted foreclosure evictions during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. As for Bank of America, it will also halt all foreclosure sales and evictions during the holidays on all loans in its portfolio or held by investors who will allow such a moratorium.
Broward County has canceled all scheduled foreclosure auctions through the end of the year. Moreover, all foreclosure hearings scheduled during the holidays must also be re-scheduled.
While no such order has been issued in Miami-Dade County, long standing tradition, and custom, holds that foreclosure evictions and foreclosure sales will not take place during the holidays. Indeed, the next scheduled foreclosure sale in Miami-Dade County is scheduled to take place on January 3, 2011.
