There is no quick how-to page on foreclosure. Each state has its own rules and certain federal regulations must also be followed. You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in foreclosures in your state who can review your situation and explain your options. You could also go to a local law library and read up on foreclosure in your state to determine how complicated the process is under your state laws.

Can a collection agency foreclose on your house?

No, if you ever hear of it, it is just a scare tactic that some debt collection agencies use. The only agency that can foreclose on your house is the bank or lending institution that holds your mortgage.

Can a lender foreclose on a property even if the mortgage payments have been kept current?

No but if a home owner is behind on payments and needs a loan mod or short sale approval, proof is available at RestReport.com


If for you borrow 3000.00 for a down payment from a family member and you fall behind in repayment can they force you out of your home if you still owe 600000 to another lender?

Generally: If you signed a promissory note the family member can sue you and obtain a judgment lien. Once recorded you cannot sell or mortgage the property until the lien is paid. Your family member cannot take your home unless they recorded a mortgage in the land records that reserved the right to foreclose. If they foreclose, they would take the property subject to the mortgage and would need to make the mortgage payments.

During bankruptcy proceedings, under normal conditions ALL collection activity stops. The mortgage company may not foreclose, take action against you, nor call you to collect. Of course, there may be exceptions to this.


Can you lose your house if you file for a chapter 7?

Yes, if your equity in the house is greater than the exemption you can use and you cannot pay the trustee the difference, or if there is no mortgage on the house and its value is more than the exemptions. If you are current with your mortgage when you file and get behind on your mortgage during the chapter 7, the mortgagee can foreclose. Consult a local bankruptcy lawyer.

Who is legally responsible for a mortgage when the borrower's death was not reported but an adult child assumes mortgage payments and is 6 months behind?

I believe most mortgages have a due-on-death clause, so, legally, the bank can force a sale if it finds out the mortgage holder died. Regardless, if the mortgage payments are behind, the bank is going to try to get the mortgage holder to pay. Since that person died, I assume there is no one who is legally able to talk to the bank. The bank will foreclose eventually and clean out the house. If the sale price of the house is greater than the mortgage balance plus costs, the bank will want to pay someone that difference. If no one is legally appointed to represent the mortgage holder's estate, the bank will probably give the money to the state as 'unclaimed property'. unfortunately the bank is going to reposses your parent's property and kick you out. any net proceeds of the property will go to the estate and be divided up according to the will (if there is one) you need to contact an attourney immediately.


In a bankruptcy what does it mean if a creditor filed a motion to release because you got behind on your mortgage?

Does reaffirmation apply to ch 13 And if so and your mortgage was not reaffirmed can the mortgage company foreclose if mortgage payments are current How about after discharge of the debt?

Reaffirmation does apply to Chapter 13 bankruptcies, and the benefit of filing a Chapter 13 case is that you are usually able to retain your home (as opposed to a Chapter 7 case, where all of your assets are normally sold). Customarily, the debtor and lender enter into an agreement within the bankruptcy to cure the arrearages over a period of time while the debtor continues to make monthly payments. That said, if the debtor falls behind on the payments, the lender can petition the court for relief from the automatic stay and proceed to foreclosure. A lender may never foreclose if the mortgage payments are current and the debtor is in compliance with the other provisions of the mortgage. If your lender is foreclosing and you believe that you have made your payments on time (or adequately cured the arrearage in the bankruptcy), then you should contact an attorney immediately.


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.
