Is there a fee to participate in a Mortgage Foreclosure Mediation Program?
The plaintiff (lender or loan servicing agent) pays the program management fees, $400.00 at the time of filing the case and $350.00 when mediation is set. There are no fees required of the borrower to enter the program. However, if mediation does not settle the case, all or part of the mediation program fees may be assessed against the borrower as costs if the case proceeds to a final hearing in front of a judge and the judge agrees to the assessment.
