A Foreclosure is a legal process through which a banker tries to recover the outstanding loan dues from a home loan borrower, who has defaulted in making payments to the banker. The banker will realize the dues by forcing the sale of the asset, given to the banker as a collateral security for the loan. A banker or the mortgagee as he is called in banking parlance, obtains a termination of a mortgagor, equitable right of redemption, either by court order or by operation of law after following a the prescribed statutory procedure in this regard.

The foreclosure process is normally applied to residential mortgage loans given by a bank repossessing the immovable property after the owner has failed to repay the loan arrears to the lender as agreed originally upon. When the process is complete, the banker can sell the property and keep the proceeds to pay off its mortgage loan dues and legal costs, if any.

Since foreclosure is resorted to after the borrower defaults in his payment, the credit rating of the borrower is adversely affectd. This will impact badly the borrower's loan payment record , also called CIBIL report, and he may find it difficult to get loan from banks in future. So it is always better to pay the bank dues on due dates without fail, to keep our records clean and pure.

The effect on your credit will depend on how the lender chooses to report it to the credit bureau. Sometimes a lender will be willing to report it 'paid as agreed' or 'settled' entry on the credit report rather than an actual repossession. If it is reported as an actual repossession or foreclosure it will be on your credit for seven years and negatively effect your rating.
