The foreclosure process takes about 10 months, not including the pre-foreclosure period. It is usually initiated after a borrower is greater than 60 days late on payment. Thereafter, the lender typically sends the borrower a letter notifying him of the impending foreclosure.
If the borrower cannot make the financial arrangements to prevent the foreclosure, the lender files a civil suit against the borrower for the amount due. After the borrower is notified of the foreclosure action, he has only about one month to respond before the court can enter a default judgment and direct the property to be sold to recover the amount due. A borrower can still prevent the sale by paying the full amount owed prior to the sale.
Some counties, including Allegheny and Philadelphia, have initiated special programs to address the increasing number of property foreclosures through court intervention, counseling, and conciliation.
