First, within twenty (20) days of your receipt of this notice, you must contact a housing counselor at either the Neighborhood Housing Services of Lackawanna County (570) 558-2490 or the United Neighborhood Centers of Northeastern Pennsylvania (570) 343-8835 to schedule an appointment. Second, once you have contacted one of the housing counselors, you must promptly meet with that housing counselor within twenty (20) days of your telephone contact with them. During that meeting, you must provide the housing counselor with all requested financial information so that a loan resolution proposal can be prepared on your behalf. If you take these steps, the housing counselor will help you prepare and file a Request for Conciliation Conference with the Court. If you do so and a conciliation conference is scheduled, you will have an opportunity to meet with a representative of your lender in an attempt to work out reasonable arrangements with your lender before your house is listed for Sheriff's Sale. If you are represented by a lawyer, it is not necessary for you to contact one of the housing counseling agencies.
