Oregon Department of Justice Releases Foreclosure Mediation Program Rules

Oregon AG
Ellen Rosenblum

Oregon will make permanent its temporary foreclosure mediation program rules, but won't add new regulations based on a nationwide mortgage settlement as the Department of Justice had proposed.

The Oregon Justice Department has established a website with information on the Oregon Foreclosure Avoidance Mediation Program.  The program began on July 11, 2012 and is aimed for two types of homeowners: Homeowners who have received a “Notice of Mediation” from their lender and homeowners who are “at-risk” of default and who wish to mediate with their lender.  On July 23rd, the Oregon Attorney General made the temporary rules permanent.
