Wayne County Sheriff Halts  Home Mortgage Foreclosure  Sales

DETROIT – Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans announced today that his office will halt all mortgage foreclosure sales.

Evans said a review of federal law has determined that to continue foreclosure sales would conflict with a recently enacted law that provides protection for homeowners.

“To proceed with sales without assuring that homeowners have been able to avail themselves of those protections would put me in a position of violating federal law,” Evans said during an 11 a.m. press conference.

“I cannot in clear conscience allow any more families to lose their homes through foreclosure sales until I’m satisfied they have been afforded every option they are entitled to under the law to avoid foreclosure.”
