FAQ
Secured debt - A debt that is backed by real or personal property is a “secured” debt. A creditor whose debt is “secured” has a legal right to take the property as full or partial satisfaction of the debt. For example, most homes are burdened by a “secured debt”.
Once you are delinquent by 120 days or more, your lender can initiate foreclosure proceedings in court. Illinois is a state in which all foreclosures are judicial foreclosures, which means the court system has jurisdiction over the matter.
In Illinois, the foreclosure process begins when a lender files a lawsuit against a homeowner after the 120-day pre-foreclosure period has ended.
A judge in the Circuit Court of Cook County oversees the foreclosure process, which typically involves the lender filing a lawsuit against the homeowner for defaulting on the mortgage. If the Court finds in favor of the lender, it can result in the forced sale of the property to repay the outstanding mortgage debt.

After missing three monthly payments, the borrower is given notice of acceleration. The notice informs the borrower that the property is set for foreclosure.
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.
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.
Foreclosures can stay on your credit reports for up to seven years.
