You can cure any other default by taking the following action within THIRTY (30) DAYS of the date of this
letter.
IFYOU DO NOT CURE THE DEFAULT - If you do not cure the default within THIRTY (30) DAYS of the
date of this Notice, the lender intends to exercise its ri hts to accelerate the mort a e debt. This means
the entire outstanding balance of this debt will be considered due immediately and you may lose the
chance to pay the mortgage in monthly installments· If full payment of the total amount past due is not
made within THIRTY (30) DAYS, the lender also intends to instruct its attorney to start legal action to
foreclose upon your mortqaqe properbz.
IF THE MORTGAGE IS FORECLOSED UPON_ - The Mortgage property will be sold by the Sheriff to pay
off the mortgage debt. If the lender refers your case to its attorney, but you cure the delinquency before
the tender begins legal proceedings against you, you will still be required to pay the reasonable attorney's
fees that were actually incurred, up to $50.00. However, if legal proceedings are started against you, you
will have to pay all reasonable attorney's fees actually incurred by the lender even if they exceed $50.00.
Any attorney's fees will be added to the amount owed to the lender, which may also include other
reasonable costs· If ou cure the default within the THIRTY 30 OAY eriod ou will not be re uired to
pay attorney's fees..
OTHER LENDER REMEDIES_ - The lender may also sue you personally for the unpaid principal balance
~nd all other sums due under the mortgage.
~ PRIOR TO SHERIFF'S SALE - If you have not cured the default within
THIRTY (30) DAY period and foreclosure proceedings have begun, you still have the riqht to cure the_ .
default and revent the sale at an time u to one hour before the Sheriff's Sale. You ma do so b a ~n
the total amount then asr due lus an late or other char es then due reasonable attome's fees and
costs connected with the foreciosure sale and an other costs connected with the Sheriff's Sale as
s ecified in writin b the lender and b erformin an other re uirements under the mort a e. Curing
your default in the manner set forth in this notice wilt restore your mortgage to the same position as if you
had never defaulted.
EARLIEST POSSIBLE SHERIFF'S SALE DATE - It is estimated that the earliest date that such a Sheriff's
Sale of the mortgage property could be held would be approximately SIX (6) MONTHS from the date of
this notice. A notice of the actual date of the Sheriff's Sale will be sent to you before the sale. Of course,
the amount needed to cure the default will increase the longer you wait. You may find out at any time
exactly what the required payment or action will be by contacting the lender.
HOW TO CONTACT THE LENDER: Thomas Araujo, Citizens Bank, 100 Sockanosset Crossroads,
Cranston, RI 02920: Telephone No.: 401-468-5550: Fax No.: 401-435-8125.
EFFECT OF SHERIFF'S SALE.. - You should realize that a Sheriff's Sale will end your ownership of the
mortgaged property and your right to occupy it. If you continue to live in the property after the Sheriff's
Sale, a lawsuit to remove you and your furnishings and other belongings could be started by the lender at
any time.
ASSUMPTION OF MORTGAGE - You may or X may not (check one) sell or transfer your
home to a buyer or transferee who will ~'ssum~ the mort-~jage debt, provided that all the outstanding
payments, charges and attorney's fees and cost are paid prior to or at the sale and that the other
requirements of the mortgage are satisfied.
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT:
· TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO OBTAIN MONEY TO PAY OFF THE MORTGAGE DEBT OR TO
BORROW MONEY FROM ANOTHER LENDING INSTITUTION TO PAY OFF THIS DEBT.
· TO HAVE THIS DEFAULT CURED BY ANY THIRD PARTY ACTING ON YOUR BEHALF.
· TO HAVE THE MORTGAGE RESTORED TO THE SAME POSITION AS IF NO DEFAULT HAD
OCCURRED, IF YOU CURE THE DEFAULT. (HOWEVER, YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS RIGHT TO
CURE YOUR DEFAULT MORE THAN THREE TIMES IN ANY CALENDAR YEAR.)
· TO ASSERT THE NONEXISTENCE OF A DEFAULT IN ANY FORECLOSURE PROCEEDING OR
ANY OTHER LAWSUIT INSTITUTED UNDER THE MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS.
· TO ASSERT ANY OTHER DEFENSE YOU BELIEVE YOU MAY HAVE TO SUCH ACTION BY THE
