Short answer, it depends on the circumstance. Foreclosure just means that they took back their property according to the terms of the loan. You are still responsible for the entire amount of the note that was not satisfied when the property was sold at auction. Since you probably still owe money to the lending institution, they can still report that you are not making payments on the outstanding amount of the debt. At this point, your only option is to either pay off the remaining part of the debt or file bankruptcy.

How many payments have to be missed before foreclosure by the mortgage company?

Technically you are eligible for foreclosure the day you miss a payment, but in practice this is never the case. Most lenders will begin the foreclosure process after 3 payments are missed, but that does not mean the home will be foreclosed. Many lenders are required by law to work with the borrower to modify the loan, or otherwise demonstrate significant effort to avoid the foreclosure. Many foreclosures take 6 months to a year to complete. This varies greatly by state, loan type, and investor/owner of the loan.

Can a mortgage company continue to report your debt as late after the bankruptcy is confirmed and you have continued to make monthly payments on time?

Payments in the last 12 months are reported on your credit report. The BK 7 and the previously late payments will continue to show on your credit report, but eventually your ontime payments will be the ones showing. You may be able to get a statement that the house was redeemed in the bankrupcy, but all late notices for the past 12 months and/or a notice of foreclosure will remain.

What are the causes of foreclosure?

non-payment of mortgage payments exceeding 2 to 3 months. If the mortgage company does not receive timely payments, they can decide to foreclose. Once they have made that decision it is very hard to correct. If you cannot make your payment call the mortgage company. Communication can go a long way to prevent foreclosure.

Can a mortgage company foreclose if you are a little behind in payments but you are still paying on your mortgage?

The problem is that you haven't really defined your terms. It makes a difference whether "a little behind" means "the next day" or "two months late." It also depends on the precise terms of your loan contract.In general, the contracts are written so that technically the mortgage company can begin foreclosure proceedings if you're late at all. However, foreclosure is enough of a hassle that most do not until you've missed at least two payments, and even then, making up those payments (along with late fees) is usually sufficient to stop the foreclosure.
