repossession

Say, no payments made from June 2007, how many months of non-payment before the mortgage company takes action. And, what actions are taken? Do they file a notice to the homeowner? Is it Public Notice that everyone can see, and where is it posted?

No its not a public notice. I was 8 months behind on my payments and the first action taken was letter of default plus late payment charges. Next was court (after about 5 months) and a warrant of execution for repossession. Court delayed giving me time to sell or pay off mortgage company. But at the end of the day i suppose it depends on the lender.

3 months then your house goes into “foreclosure.” Pay that mortgage ASAP. Your home is on the line. Don’t think about filing for a “Chapter 11,” because you will have to pay the money you owe and you will not be able to get ANY LONES from any bank, and your credit score is going to be low. By not paying your martgage, your credit score has dropped a lot.

SO, PAY THAT MORTAGE ASAP, or lose your house that you worked so hard to get.

I believe it is 3-4 months however any month that you are not paying your mortgage will hurt your credit score an inturn hinder your ability to get other loans such as car or educational (college). If you are looking to refinance check out the first month of your new mortgage will be payed through closing and we be able to get you in to a lower interest rate and clear up your debts. Best of luck.
