The forms and process for the Court's Mortgage Modification Mediation Program will be changing effective July 1, 2015. The changes include that prior to filing the motion to participate in the MMM Program, the Debtor will be required to prepare the initial documents using www.documods.com and pay a fee of $40. Use promo code wieb40 to qualify for the $40 price. The mortgage creditor will not be able to opt out of the mediation program without filing an objection that is considered by the Court. The Court will encourage creditors who object to use the program unless there is a compelling reason not to. The new form of the Motion and Notice is available here, and the new form of the Order is available here. A summary of the requirements of the new program can be found here. Comments and questions can be directed to Sean McDermott (414-290-2704 orsean_d_mcdermott@wieb.uscourts.gov).
