While state lawmakers debate whether to help homeowners in foreclosure with a statewide requirement stipulating that lenders must agree to mediation sessions, in Dane County a similar decision already has been made. Starting Monday, Dane County residents facing foreclosure will have the right to request a mediation session that could help them keep their homes. Itâ??s only an option, though, and lenders can decline mediation. UW-Madison Law School students will help families prepare for the sessions.
