mortgage after foreclosure on the first? In Oregon, I defaulted on both my primary and secondary mortgages on a piece of investment property (not my primary residence). Recently, the first mortgage lender foreclosed on the loan and took the property. Now my secondary mortgage ($65K) lender is coming after me to negotiate a settlement for payment . My questions are: Are there any additional consequences to one's credit rating by defaulting on the second that haven't already occurred by defaulting on the first? And is there a greater risk of law suit or judgment against me on the secondary loan default than the risk that I already have on the first? In other words, since my primary mortgage has defaulted and gone to foreclosure, is there any motivation for to negotiate with the secondary lender?
