What is Foreclosure?
Foreclosure is the legal right of a mortgage holder or other third-party lien holder to gain ownership of the property and/or the right to sell the property and use the proceeds to pay off the mortgage if the mortgage or lien is in default.
Foreclosure / Bankruptcy
Receiving “Notice of Default” or a “Lis Pendens” indicates your lender has initiated foreclosure proceedings against you. Also means you are at least three months behind on your payments
If you file for personal bankruptcy under Chapter 7 a so-called “automatic stay” is placed on all your creditors, including the foreclosing lender, by the court. HOWEVER, the stay is only a temporary fix to the situation.
Chapter 7 by no means permanently stops home foreclosure. It only gives you relief from unsecured creditors like credit cards and prevents certain creditors from pursuing their collection action against you. It does NOT discharge debts such as taxes, child support, alimony or student loans, nor can it give you relief from other secured creditors — like your house lender — whose debt is secured by the house you’re living in.
