HARRISBURG, September 21
- - State Sen. Shirley Kitchen (D-Phila.)
today announced that another foreclosure
clinic providing free legal consultation for
local consumers will be held in her
Philadelphia District Office on Saturday,
Sept. 30.
“My first foreclosure clinics were
a great success and very informative for
attending consumers,” Kitchen said. “My
constituents have the highest percentage of
foreclosures in Philadelphia, making this
seminar essential for those affected.”
Kitchen’s foreclosure clinics will
educate consumers on 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
the senator’s constituents.
The foreclosure clinic will be
held on Saturday September 30 from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m. at 1701 W. Lehigh Ave, Suite 104,
in Philadelphia.
After the 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 percent, 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. |
