Illinois court rules mortgage note buyers need a collection agency license

Buy defaulted mortgage notes and foreclose on them in Illinois? An appellate court just ruled that can make you an unlicensed collection agency. On July 28, 2026, the Appellate Court of Illinois, Third District, reached a conclusion that should get the attention of any firm that buys soured mortgage debt and pushes it through foreclosure. The court held that doing so can require a collection agency license, and it revived a case that a trial court had thrown out.

Building the dream of homeownership with Habitat for Humanity of Champaign County

I don’t need to wax poetic about how everything is too expensive, financial comfort is out of reach for millions, and the housing industry continues to be in crisis. This is well-known. This magazine knows about its effects on Champaign-Urbana. Many, many of us are in the same boat. Not all hope has to be lost, however. Habitat for Humanity of Champaign County (HfHCC) is a HUD-certified (Housing and Urban Development) counseling agency that offers services to prospective homebuyers and current homeowners. It’s one the few certified programs in Central Illinois, and has held that certification since 2018. It’s an incredible slate of services, and they’re all free. The funding for HUD certification looks just as potentially bleak with recent funding cuts, but Habitat for Humanity has no worries about slashing their program.
