Does your Chicago lender have the right to foreclose on you?

Foreclosure is the word that is every house owner’s nightmare. It means you have you have not paid your mortgage payments correctly and your property will be seized by your lender. Foreclosure is used to claim property against irregularities in mortgage payment. Foreclosure starts usually 60 days after your payment is due. After 45 days the lender sends a formal notification that you are behind in your payments.

You can usually contact your lender using this opportunity to workout a foreclosure avoidance solution. Chicago falls under Illinois state jurisdiction. The lender has the right to foreclosure of the mortgaged. Usually the lender, often a bank, after the foreclosure intimation, approaches and contracts an attorney. Once the attorney receives the file the firm contacts the courts.

The firm then prepares the title report. This report usually contains the history of the property, the owner, the lender, payment faults, etc. then the notice of foreclosure is filed. The notice contains information about who initiated the complaint, whose interest has not been recorded, names of plaintiffs, the court where action is brought, names of holders of the title, legal information of the real estate, address of real estate, etc.

The judgment is usually in favor of the lender and is a no objection judgment. The judgment is in the interest of the mortgagor. It is entered against the owner of the property. The judgment is filed if the owner/defaulter fails to file a plea or defend his property. The property is usually sold off at a scheduled date. To avoid foreclosure it is best to workout an avoidance plan with your lender at the earliest.
