HARRISBURG, August 21
- - State Sen. Shirley Kitchen (D-Phila.)
today announced that foreclosure clinics
will be held in her Philadelphia District
Office on Saturday, August 26th,
and Saturday, September 30th,
providing free legal consultation for
consumers in the area.
“Foreclosure clinics like this are
of the utmost importance so that consumers
can become more educated on the subject,”
Kitchen said. “My constituents have the
highest percentage of foreclosures in
Philadelphia, making this seminar essential
for those affected.”
These foreclosure clinics will
educate consumers regarding potential
pitfalls associated with mortgages. This
clinic will provide consultation on mortgage
disputes, mortgage foreclosures, real estate
fraud, bankruptcy, and debt collection.
Philadelphia Consumer Attorneys Robert Cocco
and Matthew Weisberg will provide legal
advice on these matters free of charge to
Third Senatorial District constituents.
The foreclosure clinic will take
place on Saturday August 26th
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1701 W. Lehigh
Ave, Suite 104, in Philadelphia. After the
Sat., September 30th clinic, Kitchen will
offer three Mortgage Foreclosure Seminars
starting in October to further educate her
constituents.
In the last year, Pennsylvania
foreclosures increased by 42%, which is
higher than the national average. Across the
state, approximately 12,500 homes went into
foreclosure during the first quarter of
2006. In Philadelphia alone, well over 100
homes are listed for Foreclosure Sheriff’s
Sale per month. |
