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.
