When it comes to the foreclosure process, many people find themselves in a state of confusion. This is to be expected, especially for those who have never been through foreclosure before. Add to this experience high emotions and a lot of personal stress and you will find that it can be unbearable at times. Doing what you can to understand the foreclosure process will help you to get through this, and possibly even buy you some time to recover your home.

Moment Of Default

One of the first letters that probably caught your attention was that breech of contract letter. This letter usually comes once the mortgage payments are more than 3 payments past due, although this can happen before or after this depending on the loan company and the loan product itself. This letter will state that you have 30 days to bring the account current or your account will be turned over to the foreclosure department. Most people get scared at this point and run. They do not have the money and they assume that foreclosure department means that in 30 days they will have lost the home. It is not that cut and dry.

Things To Try

There are options that can save your home from the foreclosure process such as repayment plans or loan modifications. You will have to make sure that you are in contact with your mortgage company in order to have such things worked out. It may be a difficult process to go through, but if you stick with it, you may be able to come out better on the other side for it.

Foreclosure Begins

Even once the foreclosure process begins, you must remember that it is a process and it is not something that can be completed overnight. As for how long the actual foreclosure process is from start to finish, it will vary from state to state. The mortgage company must compile all of their files and present their case to the courts, who must give them permission to continue with the foreclosure.

Auction

The last part of the foreclosure process is that of the auction. Home owners have up until the auction, and generally up until an hour before the auction, to pay the total amount past due. The total amount past due will include attorney fees and costs at this point.
