What Happens When I Stop Paying My Mortgage?
Well, it is not that rare of a question any more. More and more Americans are not paying their mortgage payments as this economic disaster is made worse by continual government placation of the Wall Street banks, and neglect of homeowners. There are a number of questions that run through most peoples minds when they are contemplating not paying their mortgage, so I thought I would take a few minutes and explain a few of them.
There are 2 kinds of leverage arrangements that banks use to collateralize their loans. There is a trustees deed and there is a mortgage. The difference is not important and can be explained with a little research online. In most cases the first step is that the homeowner runs into a financial hurdle they are not able to cross and refuses or is unable to pay for their payment.
In the case of a trustees deed, there are 2 periods that mark certain stages of foreclosure that the homeowner who does not pay their home loan is rapidly approaching. The first one is the “default period” which is typically about 90 days late. Once your home payment is at least 90 days late, the bank can file a public notice called a “notice of default” which serves public notice that they are going to instigate foreclosure unless you remedy the shortfall. The next notice is the “notice of sale” and serves to inform the public that the lender has hired a trustee to establish a foreclosure sale date and execute the sale on that day. This period is usually at least 4 months but does vary by state.
