Illinois Foreclosure Mediation Dates 2018 are dates set aside by the Illinois Supreme Court and the Illinois Supreme Court Bankruptcy Rules Committee for lenders and borrowers to attend mandatory mediation sessions to discuss potential solutions to foreclosure proceedings. These dates are designed to help homeowners facing foreclosure have a chance to discuss possible alternatives to foreclosure such as loan modifications, repayment plans, or other solutions. There are three different dates available in 2018: April 19, August 16, and December 20. All foreclosure mediation sessions must be held in accordance with the Illinois Supreme Court and the Illinois Supreme Court Bankruptcy Rules Committee rules. The sessions are held in the county courthouse in which the foreclosure was initiated and are attended by a mediator, the homeowner, their attorney, and representatives from the lender. During the session, the mediator will work with the parties to try to reach an agreement that is acceptable to all parties.
