Dear Mr. and Ms. Howard: This firm represents Lender with respect to the captioned matters. In previous communication from Lender, you have been notified that you are in default with respect to the Security Deed and Note. Further, Lender has advised you of your right to cure this default. As of the date of this letter, you remain in default. Nonetheless, it may be possible to cure this default by paying all accrued but unpaid interest, late fees, and all other cost and fees allowable by law. Interest, late charges, and other charges may vary from day to day, so the total amount owed will change. To obtain further information regarding the amount owed, you may call our office at (470)-427-2683 and ask for Jason Godwin. The person or entity that has full authority to negotiate, amend, and modify all terms of the mortgage with the debtor is: Jason Godwin 3985 Steve Reynolds Blvd, Bldg D Norcross, GA 30093 Phone: 470-427-2683 Email: jgodwin@godwinlawgroup.com Please understand that Lender is not required by law to negotiate, amend, or modify the terms of the Note. Unless you notify this office within 30 days of receiving this notice that you dispute the validity of the debt or any portion thereof, our office will assume this debt is valid. If you notify this office in writing within 30 days of receiving this notice that you dispute this debt or any portion thereof, this office will obtain verification of the debt and mail you a copy of such verification. Upon your written request within 30 days of receiving this notice, our office will provide you with the name and address of the original creditor, if different from the current creditor. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act does not require that we wait thirty (30) days from the date you receive this letter before initiating foreclosure proceedings. In the event we do initiate foreclosure proceedings within thirty (30) days from the date you receive this letter you still retain the rights described above. Be advised that if your personal liability for this debt has been modified or extinguished by a discharge in bankruptcy, this notice is provided solely to foreclose on the Security Deed remaining on your property and is not an attempt to collect the discharged personal obligation. If you are currently in the military service, or have been in the military service within the past 180 days, and you entered the service after signing the Note and Security Deed now in foreclosure, please notify this office immediately. You may be entitled to relief under the Service Members Civil Relief Act. This letter shall also serve as notice that Lender intends to initiate foreclosure proceedings against the Property on the first Tuesday of October, 2023 and may also exercise its other rights under the Note and Security Deed, which rights will be in addition to the rights which are exercised, noticed or discussed herein. A copy of the Notice of Sale Under Power which shall be submitted to the legal organ of the county for publication in Emanuel County is enclosed herewith. Notice is also hereby given to you pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section 13-4-4, that Lender continues to rely on and hereby continues to require strict compliance with each and every term and condition of the Note and Security Deed and the other documents evidencing and securing the indebtedness, and none of the terms or conditions contained in the Note and Security Deed shall be construed as having been modified by Grantor’s/Borrower’s failure to make the payments required under the Note and Security Deed. A copy of this letter is being sent to you by USPS Certified Mail. Refusal of delivery is deemed, under the law, to be equivalent to notice. This law firm is acting as a debt collector.
