OPTIONS THE LENDER COULD MAKE AVAILABLE TO YOU.
For example, there are three things a lender could have you: (1) a Modification Agreement whereas the lender will take what is owed on the home and add it to the backside of the loan and perhaps even change the interest rate. In essence, they are re-writing the loan. (2) a Forbearance Agreement. Here your payments could be reduced for a few months, say 50 to 70 % of your normal payment, and then it will increase until you are caught up. That increase could be 150% of a normal payment. Once you are caught up, your payments will go back to the original amount. (3) Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. Here you raise the white flag and say I give up, here’s the home back, I’m out of here, thus saving the lender court and attorney fees. Keep in mind, these are options. A lender is not required by law to do any of these.

A summons and complaint is issued and you have five days to respond. A trial is set for 21-days after the complaint is served and a legal eviction is recorded against you. The sheriff posts a 5-day Notice to Vacate and if you are still in the property, the locks are changed and your possessions confiscated.
Do you still owe money after a foreclosure?
The lesson to be learned is that if you owe more on your mortgage than your house is worth and the property is in a state that allows lenders to seek deficiency judgments, you may still owe money even after foreclosure. The lender could forgive the amount.
