Foreclosure Process by which the holder of a mortgage seizes the property of a homeowner who has not made interest and/or principal payments on time as stipulated in the mortgage contract. Foreclosure. Foreclosure occurs when your lender repossesses your home because you have defaulted on your mortgage loan or home equity line of credit. You default by failing to pay interest and repay the principal you owe on time. Foreclosed property is often sold at auction to allow the lender to recover some of or all the outstanding debt.

Last year, Clarfield's Carbon Mesa sought judicial foreclosure against Shlens, and in June it won summary judgment - meaning Shlens had to pay up on the loan and accumulating interest and fees, unless he wins on appeal. The court also noted that a judicial foreclosure sale may also be set aside if there was an excusable mistake, particularly if such mistake caused the property to bring a much lower price that it otherwise would have. It is significantly less expensive and less time-consuming than a judicial foreclosure, he said. |
