    A defaulting borrower in a foreclosure action may say "I don't owe the amount the lender says," and the borrower may be right. Even when correct, the claim of inaccuracy is not a defense to a foreclosure action. Lenders and servicers should still be vigilant but it is the actuality of a default, and not the amount, that is the basis to proceed.
