Foreclosure Actions

In the state of Pennsylvania, mortgage foreclosure is carried out in the court system. Excluding the pre-foreclosure period, the entire process takes about 10 months. Typically, foreclosure begins after a borrower is 60 or more days late on payments. Under usual procedure, the lender will send the borrower a letter notifying him or her of the foreclosure.

As the borrower, if you can’t come up with financial arrangements to prevent the foreclosure from going forward, you will typically have a civil suit filed against you by the lender. Once you are notified, you will have up to one month to respond. If you do not respond, the court will enter a default judgement. Once you are officially in default on your loan, the property will be sold in order to cover the amount you owe. However, you can still prevent the sale by coming up with the full amount of the loan.
