Preforeclosure

Preforeclosure is the last opportunity borrowers have to cure mortgage arrears or work out a payment plan with their lender to avoid foreclosure. This phase takes place once lenders send out a Notice of Default, which normally occurs when borrowers are 60 days delinquent with loan payments.

Once mortgagors enter into preforeclosure they may limit eligibility for foreclosure prevention strategies. Therefore, it is important to attempt to work out a payment plan the moment borrowers realize they will not be able to fulfill their loan obligation.

Pre Foreclosure

Pre foreclosure is the process instituted by mortgage lenders when borrowers default on their house payments. Most lenders take pre foreclosure action when the borrower fails to remit their mortgage payment for two or more consecutive months. Occasionally, lenders will wait three months before filing pre foreclosure notice; however, this is rare.

The pre foreclosure stage gives borrowers an opportunity to work with their lending institution to rectify the situation and avoid foreclosure. If the borrower is able to get their mortgage payments current the lender will generally reinstate the loan and no further action will be taken.
