FAQ
When Can a Pennsylvania Foreclosure Start? Under federal law, the servicer usually can't officially begin a foreclosure until you're more than 120 days past due on payments, subject to a couple of exceptions. (12 C.F.R. § 1024.41 (2024).)
It benefits both the lender and the borrower. To initiate the process, the borrower will submit a loss mitigation application to their mortgage provider. If all goes well, the borrower will be relieved of their debts on the property, though this is not always the case. Sometimes, there will be a deficiency judgment.
The Foreclosure Prevention Grant Program helps homeowners who have fallen behind on mortgage payments and are at risk of experiencing homelessness. The City's Division of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) partners with a local agency to administer the program.
Foreclosures can stay on your credit reports for up to seven years.
Another way to surrender your home is through a consent foreclosure. A consent foreclosure allows the homeowner to consent to a judgment of foreclosure being entered against him. In exchange for consenting to judgment, the creditor cannot begin deficiency judgment proceedings against the debtor.
How Long Does the Foreclosure Process Take? There is no set timeline for a foreclosure in PA. The specifics of your case and the court's agenda may add or subtract a few weeks from the timeline. Typically, you can expect 120 days to pass before an uncontested foreclosure is finalized.
