Stop foreclosure in Illinois
Foreclosure of mortgage or property by a
lender is done when the
borrower continually becomes irregular on his mortgage payment that is
due. A foreclosure could also mean that the homeowner may have to
vacate the house. As no homeowner would like to be in such a
situation, he would do whatever possible to stop a foreclosure. In
addition to this, a foreclosure can affect the credit rating of a person,
and may lose an opportunity of future credits. Hence as far as possible
one should try to stop foreclosure.
For stopping foreclosure in Illinois, there are a number of options
available. To begin with, the lender will have to issue a 30 days notice to
the borrower about his intention to foreclose the mortgage and also a
notice should be issued to any person who is entitled to receive the
notice as per the statutes of Illinois. In case the court issues sale notice
in favor of lender, the sale can be carried on as per the terms mentioned
in the sale notice, as long as the terms abide by the conditions
mentioned in the Illinois statutes. The judge in the county has the right to
continue with the sale, and the borrower is not entitled for salvation
thereafter.
Stopping of foreclosure in Illinois can be done based on the foreclosure
act procedure. The entire process of a foreclosure takes nine months
approximately. The buyers in the case of stop foreclosure in Illinois can
either pay off or catch up. The catching up is legally termed as
"reinstatement". The buyer will be given a time period of three months
from the date of filing the foreclosure case for catching up on the
payments missed. But in addition to paying the missed payments, the
buyer will also have to pay the court cost and attorney fee. The
process of paying off the entire mortgage is called "redemption". In this
case, the buyer will be given a time period of seven months for
redemption. But, this is even more difficult because there is a possibility
that the buyer may have to refinance with a different lender, or a
high-rate finance company which may be counterproductive.
And in case the buyer is unable to redeem or reinstate, a stop
foreclosure cannot take place. Even after the sale, the buyer is given
thirty days to redeem unless the lender opts to buy during the sale.
