foreclosure process<\/a> begins with a foreclosure avoidance assessment.\u00a0 This step obligates the lender to contact you and anyone else on the loan to assess your financial situation and explore options for avoiding foreclosure. During this initial contact the lender must tell you that you have the right to schedule another meeting concerning how to avoid foreclosure.\u00a0 This meeting must be scheduled within the following 14 days.\u00a0\u00a0 Furthermore, the lender cannot initiate the foreclosure process until 30 days have passed from the date of contact for the foreclosure avoidance assessment.<\/p>\nNotice of Default<\/h2>\n
At least 30 days<\/strong> after the initial contact for the foreclosure avoidance assessment the lender can record a notice of default in the country where your home is located, assuming you and your lender did not work out a plan to avoid foreclosure.\u00a0 The lender will send you a copy of the notice of default by certified mail within 10 days<\/strong> of the document being recorded.\u00a0 In turn, you will have 90 days<\/strong> from the date of recordation to cure the default (ie. repay what you owe).<\/p>\nNote:<\/strong> if you can\u2019t afford to repay the amount owed right away consider chapter 13 bankruptcy.\u00a0 At this stage you need a binding repayment plan to work in your favor.\u00a0 Only a chapter 13 repayment plan can stretch your repayment over 3 to 5 years while you keep your home.<\/p>\nNotice of Sale<\/h2>\n
If you do not pay the amount owed, a notice of sale will be recorded at least 90 days<\/strong> after the notice of default is recorded.\u00a0 The notice of sale will state that the Trustee will sell your home within 21 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\nWhile this probably won\u2019t help you, the notice of sale must (1) be mailed to you by certified mail; (2) posted on your property and in a public place (like the courthouse); (3) published for at least 3 consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the real property is located before the date of sale; and (4) have the date, time, and location of the Trustee\u2019s sale; real property address; Trustee\u2019s name, address, and phone number; and a statement that the real property will be sold at public auction.<\/p>\n
