Foreclosure Consequences
A lenders approach to a borrower in default should be to bring the loan current in order to do this they must:
1. Determine the reason for delinquency (Reason for default)
2. Exhaust all options to workout and restore the mortgage
3. Do everything possible to keep the loan out of foreclosure
Foreclosure is the legal process of selling the property that is used for collateral for a loan to pay the borrowers debt.
