A mortgage rescue helps stop a mortgagee sale which is commonly wanted where the bank is asking you to sell your house. This is typically a financially challenging situation, and can be caused by different reasons. Getting professional legal advice and or financial advice can certainly help you here.
If you take action early in the process, and hopefully before it is too late, you may be able to work with a suitably qualified legal expert to help advocate for your situation, then work with a financial adviser or mortgage broker who could move you to another lender; so you are away from the bank for a while.
This then gives you time and breathing space to help get out of the situation.

Receiving a default notice, PLA mortgage?
If you’ve received a default notice or a PLA notice (Property Law Act Notice), it’s usually important to urgently seek advice and take action. The longer you wait, the chances are that the situation can become harder, more expensive, or even impossible to try control. Your bank or lender might also tell you that you need to engage a lawyer to deal with them, and their usual staff members may not be able to help you for this matter.
