In Washington under the Foreclosure Fairness Act you have a right to meet and confer with the lender to try to work out a modification. If that fails, you have a right to mediation which is a procedure where the lender and borrower try to resolve modification with the help of a mediator. However, you must be referred to mediation no later than 20 days after the Notice of Trustee Sale has been recorded, otherwise you lose the right.
