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.
