Losing a home is a very painful experience for the home owners. They have memories and also good feeling about the home and the whole process of foreclosure or repossession is like throwing out the original owners of the house out. However, from a lenders point of view if he is not receiving the regular payments that he is supposed to receive then it is a loss making investment for them.

In order to keep their business afloat, lenders need to get the payments regularly from the borrowers. In order to get the payments, they just threaten with foreclosure and if the borrower still does not pay, then the lender will still go ahead with the foreclosure. A foreclosure is damaging for the borrower because it will reflect on the credit report and they may lose several points.

When you sign an agreement, the bank also takes signature on a promissory note which says that they do have the right of repossession of the property and recover their money invested when they are not receiving the payments. The only way of repossession is through a foreclosure. A foreclosure is a legal process and the bank will have to approach the court. The warning letter will ultimately be sent out by the court and also the auction date of the property will be declared by the court.

As a home owner, you may have the right to pay the dues until the property has been auctioned. In order to avoid repossession, you can also choose to hire a loss mitigator or the bank might also have a loss mitigation department who can rework the terms of the loan.
