Home mortgage safety seminar set in Elmont

State Sen. Jack M. Martins (R-Mineola) will sponsor a home mortgage safety seminar in Elmont on Saturday to address issues regarding refinancing, predatory loans, loan modification issues, foreclosure safety scams and attaining a mortgage.

The seminar will be held at the Elmont Public Library from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Representatives from the offices of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman are expected to attend.

The seminar will feature a question-and-answer period, followed by an opportunity for homeowners to sit with mortgage experts from Bethpage Federal Credit Union, as well as Martins, the state’s Financial Services Department and the offices of Schneiderman and Martins.

Interested participants should make an appointment to speak privately with the experts. Appointments outside of the seminar with state government departments can also be made that day through Martins’ staff.

Homeowners should bring copies of their documentation and information related to their mortgage problem.

To make an appointment, call Martins’ district office at 516-746-5924 or send an email to martins@nysenate.gov.
