Depends on which state you live in what all the details would be. You can be sued for the remaining balance after the sale of the property. If you don't pay and if it is allowable in your state, they can garnish your wages and place liens on any property you may own that has any significant value. If you file for bankruptcy protection, you are protected by the bankruptcy laws.
Yes they definitely can because if you don't pay your taxes your home will go for foreclosure
no...the note goes back with the bank...your credit is ruined for five years
Foreclosure is the legal and professional proceeding in which a mortgagee, or other lien holder, usually a lender, obtains a court ordered termination of a mortgagor's equitable right of redemption.Foreclosure means that you didn't keep your end of the bargain to pay back a loan and the loan holder is in the process of taking the car or house back.

Foreclosure
What you do with a loan is irrelevant. You always have to pay it back.
Failing to pay back a loan is called defaulting on the loan.
If you are in need of money to help a finical situation you may be forced by debt collectors to create a loan to pay them off
foreclosure
It is probably a good idea to pay back any loan. A loan, by definition, is something being furnished on condition of being returned. If you don't pay it back, it is not a loan. It is stealing.
Generally and briefly: You transfer your ownership of your property to a lender in exchange for a loan of money. If you pay off the loan the lender will release its interest in the property. If you don't pay off the loan and stop making payments the lender can take possession of the property and sell it to a new owner in order to get back its initial investment.
Foreclosure is governed by state law, different states can observe different foreclosure procedures. In foreclosure, the lender, mortgagee, automatically becomes full owner of the property when a borrower, mortgagor, defaults. The borrower can still pay the full amount and get the house back during the redemption period. If the money is not paid back, you will lose the ownership of the house. Then the house will be sold at a public sale or auction to pay for the full loan amount, if the sale is less than the amount owed, you will owe the difference.
