In the United States, the ability to collect deficiency balances after a foreclosure varies by state. Most states allow lenders to pursue deficiency judgments, but some have restrictions or specific conditions.

A second mortgage however, may persue if they did not do the foreclosure. Other states allow for deficiency balances to be persued through collection actions and the courts.
Some states allow deficiency judgments after the short sale. Some states allow deficiency judgments after repossession or foreclosure. Each state has its own rules.
Many states allow deficiency judgments in one kind of foreclosure, but not another.
