The Mortgage Foreclosure Process in Pittsburgh

As the borrower when you will fall behind the payments for the mortgage, the foreclosure process begins. Once foreclosed, the property will be sold in the sheriff’s sale to the higher third party bidder of the lender itself.

When you as the borrower will fall behind the payments, after the next 60 days you will receive the pre-foreclosure notice with two parts:

  • PA Act 6 Notice that will alert the mortgage borrower about the intention of the lender to foreclose on the property. This notice will reach the borrower after at least 60 days of nonpayment. After receiving this, the borrower will get a timeline of 30 days for clearing the defaults, paying the attorney fees and so on.
  • Act 91 will notify the borrowers about the Homeowner’s Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program that can help them during this trying situation.

Once the borrower gets the notice, within 20 days of the deadline of payment the litigation will be filed. When asked, the borrower must answer the court for the foreclosure trials. If you or your lawyer doesn’t answer, then the trial will go for default judgment. You cannot risk that as that might not only result in foreclosure but will also make you pay more fees. For such an overwhelming situation, it is necessary that you talk to a Pittsburgh bankruptcy lawyer right away.
