If this feels familiar, you're not alone

It seems like the bank is setting all the rules.

The phone rings — and you already know who it is.

The mail has become something you'd rather not open.

It feels like the clock is ticking and the bank holds all the cards.

You haven't told anyone, because you're worried they'll judge you.

You haven't done anything wrong. Job loss, illness, divorce, a death in the family — it happens to good people every day. But when nobody acts, the bank decides.

What's happening to you right now

The bank follows a strict timeline. You have rights on it.

Every letter has a legal name — and a deadline behind it.

Days 1–45

Early intervention

Loss mitigation notices you're required to get.

Up to day 120

The 120-Day Rule

Federal law generally bars a foreclosure filing before 120 days.

Breach letter

Right to cure

Miss the cure date and the full loan can be called due.

Filing

Court or county

Judicial or non-judicial — your state sets the speed.

Sale date

Notice of sale

Some deadlines count backwards from this date.

Straight answers

Questions homeowners ask most

How long does foreclosure take?
It depends on your state. In most cases your servicer can't start the process until you're more than 120 days behind. After that, states that don't use the courts (non-judicial) can reach a sale in a few months, while court-based (judicial) states usually take longer. See the full timeline.
Can I stop a foreclosure sale that's already scheduled?
Sometimes. A complete loss-mitigation application received more than 37 days before the sale generally must be reviewed before the sale. Reinstatement, selling the home, or a bankruptcy filing with an attorney can also stop or postpone a sale. Read more.
Will my lender work with me?
Many will. Repayment plans, forbearance and modifications are common, and FHA, VA, USDA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans have set programs. Approval depends on your income, your hardship and your loan — and a complete, organized application is the biggest factor you control.
How does foreclosure affect my credit?
A completed foreclosure can stay on your credit report for up to seven years. Options like a modification, short sale or selling first usually do less damage. See the credit impact of each option.
Should I talk to a HUD-approved housing counselor?
Yes, it's a good idea — they're free. Call 1-800-569-4287 or search at hud.gov. We'll happily point you there on our call if it's the better fit.
Is the consultation really free? What's the catch?
It's free with no obligation, and we never charge homeowners upfront. We're paid only if you later choose to sell to us or use our recovery service — both your decision, both paid from the transaction.
What if my home was already sold at auction?
You may be owed surplus funds if the sale brought in more than the debt. Deadlines apply. Check if money is being held in your name.
