In Illinois, the foreclosure process begins when a lender files a lawsuit against a homeowner after the 120-day pre-foreclosure period has ended.
Foreclosure proceedings begin with a complaint filed by the lender. The borrower is served a copy of the complaint and a summons, along with a notice of his or her rights during foreclosure. In most cases, the borrower has 30 days to file a response. Failure to respond will result in a default judgment for the lender.

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.
