What Is the Foreclosure Process?

After you miss a mortgage payment, the loan company will begin to contact you through letters and possibly phone calls. If the wheels keep turning without payment, the foreclosure process can begin. In the state of Tennessee, you will generally experience a non-judicial foreclosure without involving a court. Instead of a day in court, the mortgage company needs to send you notices throughout the process with this type of foreclosure.

You will receive a notice twenty or more days before the house is to be sold. During the sale, the trustee will sell it at auction to the highest bidder. However, the lender also has the option to choose a judicial foreclosure in court, where the court makes the foreclosure decision. Altogether, the entire process for a non-judicial foreclosure that is not contested generally takes 90 to 120 days before it is complete. The process can take longer if you contest it or perform other actions, such as filing for bankruptcy.

What Are My Foreclosure Options?

If you are facing foreclosure, it’s not the time to give up or to resort to worrying about what to do. You do have some options available to help you try to delay or stop the process. If you are unable to pay your bills and fees in time, you still have some foreclosure prevention options. You can go to court to contest the action. You can also seek delays on the process and adjournments of sales. Another option is to file for bankruptcy.

A bankruptcy attorney at Long, Burnett, and Johnson can help you learn more about your options and which one might be the right fit for you. We work to take away your worry and replace it with a concrete plan of action to save your home in whatever way we can.

How Can a Bankruptcy Lawyer Help Foreclosure Cases?

Bankruptcy is not the only way a bankruptcy attorney can help you if you are facing foreclosure; we can help with many options for preventing foreclosure. At Long, Burnett, and Johnson, our bankruptcy lawyers can help you avoid foreclosure in Nashville by educating you on your rights, taking a look at your financial situation and guiding you on what steps you might be able to take to prevent foreclosure on your home.

One of our lawyers might be able to help you negotiate a repayment schedule, a loan modification or other options. The lawyer can also help you determine if bankruptcy is the right option to stop foreclosure of your residence. This method of foreclosure defense can stop home foreclosure so you can get your situation under control.

You have two options for bankruptcy: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to create a repayment plan that can last up to five years to help you pay off the mortgage payments that are past due. The Chapter 7 option, on the other hand, doesn't include a payment plan but can buy you time to make financial changes that can help you save your home.
