How to Handle a Foreclosure Notice When English Isn’t Your First Language?

You’re Not Alone

Long Island has large immigrant and bilingual communities. Foreclosure is already confusing – language barriers can make it worse.

Steps to Take

  • Request translated documents from your lender (they’re required by law in many cases)
  • Work with local HUD counselors who speak your language
  • Ask for an interpreter in court
