On April 5, 2009, Governor Pat Quinn signed into law the Homeowner Protection Act. The Homeowner Protection Act, which was passed unanimously by the General Assembly, gives homeowners who fall behind on their mortgage payments time to work with their lender to develop a plan that will allow them to stay in their homes. IDFPR stands ready to help you understand this new law and take advantage of its important protections.
