If you have received a foreclosure notice or notice of default, you should learn about what happens during foreclosure. Bear in mind, though, what happens during a foreclosure varies from state to state. Some states are more strict about foreclosure and has a more complex foreclosure process than other states.

What happens during foreclosure also varies based on the types of foreclosure you are facing such as mortgage foreclosures or property tax foreclosures. We will not discuss what happens during a property tax foreclosure here since property tax foreclosures are less common than mortgage foreclosures.

Below are the normal steps of what happens during foreclosure. See "mortgage-foreclosure-process">mortgage foreclosure process for what happens during a mortgage foreclosure.

Default on mortgage payments

If you have consistently missed your mortgage payments then your mortgage account would be in default status. At first the lender will try to contact you to remind you that you have missed payments. If they cannot get a hold of you or you don't bring your account current, then they will send you the Notice of Default. Usually they will wait until you have missed three mortgage payments.

Notice of Default and Notice of Foreclosure

Lenders may use scare tactics at this point to scare you into paying your mortgage payments. They might say that you will be evicted and your home repossessed in as little as 60 days. This usually scares homeowners into doing irrational things. If you have received a Notice of Default, the free foreclosure consultation will come in handy. Below is the free consultation link.

After a while you will receive the Notice of Foreclosure and the Notice of Trustee's Sale. See our page on the Mortgage Foreclosure Process for more detail of what happens during a foreclosure step by step. Be prepared that once your account is marked in default and various notices have been sent to you and also published publicly, you may start to get many calls a day from collection agencies or companies offering help for you to get out of foreclosure and settle for much less than the amount you owe. However, when you call them, it might not turn out like they promised.

When you call them, they know that you care and they usually try to get more money out of you than you need to be paying. Sometimes they would even say anything to get you to agree to pay and give them your bank account number or credit card number and then do not do what you originally agreed to. Once you hand them your bank account number, you can expect huge, regular payments to be withdrawn monthly. Do not fall for this trap!
