To respond to the Mortgage Foreclosure Summons, you actually must respond to the ``Complaint'' which was attached to the Summons. You file a response called an ``Answer'' that responds - paragraph by paragraph - to the claims about you in the Complaint. I have looked at the website for the St.
action rule typically requires a lender to complete a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure on the real property collateral before it can obtain a deficiency judgment against the borrower or take other action to collect against a borrower's assets.
It takes at least 6 to 8 months for a fore- closure lawsuit to go from summons and complaint to auction — even if you ignore the court case. In reality, however, the process is taking much longer. If you file an Answer and appear at the mandatory settlement conference, it is taking lenders 1 to 3 years to foreclose.
The new law does not disturb New York's six-year statute of limitations on mortgage foreclosure actions. It simply restores a common-sense principle: no party may unilaterally stop and restart the statute of limitations to revive what would otherwise be a time-barred action.

The mortgage holder must run a notice in the official legal organ (newspaper) for the county where the property is located. The notice is run for four (4) consecutive weeks. On the first Tuesday of the following month, the property is sold at a foreclosure sale on the steps of the county courthouse.
Throughout the foreclosure process, various legal notices must be filed in your County Recorder's Office. This information is public record and available to anyone. Just visit your county's office and you can search for a Notice of Default (NOD), lis pendens or Notice of Sale.
Under California laws, lenders can pursue a foreclosure case through the courts, but they almost always use non-judicial foreclosure instead. The non-judicial process can be completed in approximately 120 days (4 months). However, the timeline can sometimes be 200 days or more.
Foreclosures are judicial sales/processes and that info is public, although you have to figure out how to find it on your county website.
