Mortgage foreclosure
When you take out a mortgage, there are few terms and conditions that are agreed upon and it is the responsibility
of both the lender and you to abide by the same. It is also agreed upon that if you happen to default on your
mortgage payments, you can be a victim of mortgage foreclosure. Your lender will take away your house to sell it off so that your
missed payments can be recovered.
However, lenders usually avoid foreclosure as the cost involved in the process is high. You can try out other
methods of repaying your debts. In addition to repaying your mortgage, you may have other debts to deal with.
You can try consolidating your debts, reorganizing your debts or opt for any other legal method that can make you
debt free. It may also involve filing bankruptcy. If you are undecided about the process that can take you out of
the financial stalemate, take help of a financial consultant.
You can also ask your lender to reinstate terms of your mortgage. Request may include lowering your monthly
payments, eliminating late payments or refinancing.
The mortgage foreclosure process
State laws pertaining to mortgage foreclosure may differ from one state to another. In general, the following steps
are involved in mortgage foreclosure -
• The lender first gives you a “Notice of Default” through a certified mail.
• You are given a certain period of time during which you can “cure” the default and become current with your
payments again.
• The lender may either proceed with judicial or a non-judicial foreclosure.
• You may be served a “Notice of foreclosure sale”
• An auction is held where your house is sold off for an amount that is decided by the highest bidder.
• Once your house gets sold off, you will be required to vacate the premises.
It may be mentioned here that throughout the above mentioned steps, if you are able to pay off the amount you owe
to your lender, you can stop the mortgage foreclosure process and retain your home. You may also have to pay for
the foreclosure cost in case you are trying to stop the mortgage foreclosure process.
