If you would like to learn more about this process, this public hearing could provide some very interesting insight. Truth be told, no one knows how this new law will work. If the banks don’t have enough people to answer the telephones now and deal with customers, where will they possibly find enough people to attend a foreclosure mediation?

AB-149, passed shortly before the end of the session, provides for mediations in foreclosures commenced on or after July 1, 2009, as a way to help home owners forestall the loss of their houses.

A homeowner who receives a foreclosure notice can request an opportunity to sit down with the lenders and a trained mediator and explore whether a mutually agreeable resolution can be reached.
