Lenders don't issue deficiency judgments. Courts do. And if the lender doesn't get the total amount owed, including all the costs of trying to recover (legal, towing, fix up, maintenance, interest, fees, etc), then they would ask the court for this judgment and normally get it.

What is the process for obtaining an Illinois deficiency judgment after a foreclosure sale?

To obtain an Illinois deficiency judgment after a foreclosure sale, the lender must file a lawsuit within 90 days of the sale.

If you filed bankruptcy and are now facing foreclosure can the bank get a personal deficiency against you?

Yes, if the state and loan documents allow for a deficiency judgment, the bank can sue for one after the home has been sold at the sheriff sale and there is a deficiency. If the homeowners are sued after the public auction and the bank gets a deficiency judgment, then bankruptcy can be used to discharge the judgment. However, bankruptcy can not be used in advance before a deficiency judgment or other debt even exists to preclude its possibility.

What happens after a judgment of foreclosure on a mortgage?

In very broad terms, the judgment creditor can apply to the court for a writ of sale and have the sheriff sell the property at a public auction. The exact time line will vary by state and will depend on whether or not you are entitled to a deficiency judgment. For example, California has two different time lines. If a deficiency judgment is not available or the creditor waives the right to get a deficiency judgment, then the sheriff gives 120 days notice of levy and 20 days notice of sale. if there is the right to have a deficiency judgment, the sale occurs after 30 days but the owner has a 90-day right of redemption.


In Florida are sellers of a home responsible for deficiency judgments?

If the sellers sold the home for as much as they owed on the loan, there is no possibility for a deficiency judgment, since there is no deficiency. If the sale was through a short sale where the bank took less than it was owed but allowed the homeowners to sell and walk away, the bank would have to sue for the deficiency judgment.
