Yes.
Your second mortgage is secured by your home, so if you default on payments, the lender has the right to foreclose.
Yes, it could. Any lien holder can initiate the foreclosure process - so if your 2nd mortgage goes into default, the mortgage company could choose to start foreclosure proceedings based on the default.
Yes. "People with a second mortgage who are facing foreclosure should go to bankruptcy to get rid of the unsecured second-mortgage note," she said. "They should do it as soon as they're foreclosed upon, because that's when they're at rock-bottom, not when they've started to rebuild (their finances)."
The best place to get foreclosure help is from the institution that holds your mortgage. You may be able to renegotiate the terms of the loan and avoid foreclosure. Otherwise, Foreclosure Advisors can help you negotiate with the bank.
Seven years! There are actually companies that will work with you for free to buy your mortgage away from your mortgage company and avoid your foreclosure. I would advise looking into this first.
The lender can go after you for any deficiencies and the foreclosure will be reported on your credit record. As a co-signer you are equally responsible for paying the mortgage.

You are responsible for paying off any mortgages you have on your property. Defaulting on the second mortgage will have consequences. Perhaps you could negotiate with the lender since they wouldn't profit from a foreclosure. ------ Is there some specific reason that you are unable to pay? Home prices will recover in 2-3 years. But if you default on a mortgage and go into foreclosure that will haunt you for the next 10 years. Is it really worth it to try to scam the mortgage company out of money that they loaned to you in good faith and you happily went out and spent?
go ask the mortgage company.

The mortgage company did not go to their own court date and the foreclosure was dismissed. They will be able to refile it if it was without prejudice.

AnswerThe first mortgage would have the first position on the lien. So if the second mortgage company foreclosed on the property - they would sell the property and the sale proceeds must go to pay off the first mortgage company first. Then, if there is anything left over, that money goes to the second mortgage company.For example, there is a first mortgage of 100,000 and a second mortgage of 40,000. The property is foreclosed and sold for 125,000. The first mortgage gets paid off (100,000) and the second mortgage company gets the remaining 25,000.The property owner still owes the second mortgage company the other 15,000.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Not true. Maybe different laws in different states but here the 2nd mortgage foreclosure sale does not directly effect the 1st mortgage. It remains a lien.
Since the second mortgage was transferred, there should be legal documents recording this fact. Take up the issue with the title company who (presumably)insured the second mortgage. The title insurance should cover this. Failing that, you may have to go to court to clear up the chain. If the title agency isn't helpful, talk to a real estate lawyer. Be careful as this occurrence can frequently result in a foreclosure. Whatever the reason, the more lenders which one defaults on, the more trouble they will find. Paying the primary lender while ignoring the second can just as easily result in foreclosure. One potential issue can play out as follows: * A homeowner finds themselves in financial trouble. * They successfully negotiate a payment plan with their primary lender, but remain in default against their second mortgage loan. * The second lien holder then purchases the primary mortgage (which is still in good standing) and forecloses. * Homeowner finds themselves losing their home to the 2nd mortgage lender.
