FAQ
A default usually occurs when a defendant fails to file an answer in court within a certain time after a complaint is filed. A judgment based on a default would end the case and be a binding decision giving the plaintiff certain relief, including foreclosure against the defaulting party.
FINAL JUDGMENT OF FORECLOSURE AND SALE The judgment will specify the total amount due and direct how the sale proceeds will be distributed.
Challenge the sale of your home by filing exceptions with the court within 30 days of the sale. Exceptions are limited to problems in how the home was sold. If you would like to consider exceptions, talk to a lawyer. The court must approve the sale.
A "default judgment" is a judgment in favor of the lender when the borrower doesn't respond to a foreclosure lawsuit (a judicial foreclosure). The main danger of allowing a default judgment against you is that, once it happens, you'll lose the opportunity to fight the judicial foreclosure.
In the context of a civil lawsuit, a default judgment is a judgment in favor of one party based on the other's failure to respond or show up in court. In most cases, default judgments are made in favor of a plaintiff when a defendant doesn't respond to a suit.
Is a Default Judgment a Final Judgment? A default judgment is a final judgment because it is a decision on the merits (as it was properly heard). Therefore, if a party disagrees, they must file an appeal or a motion to reconsider. The defaulting party may obtain a reverse judgment if they appeal the decision.
In a nonjudicial foreclosure, the borrower gets the right to reinstate at any time up to five business days before the commencement of bidding at the foreclosure sale. But not more than one time in any two consecutive calendar years. (D.C. Code § 42-815.01).
1) Missed Mortgage Payment The mortgage servicer mails a Notice of Intent to Foreclose (NOI) to the homeowner after the first missed payment or other contractual default on a mortgage. The “mortgage servicer” or “servicer” is the company that receives and processes mortgage payments.
Most foreclosures in Maryland are what's called “nonjudicial” or “quasi-judicial.” With a nonjudicial foreclosure, the lender must complete specific out-of-court steps detailed in state law before selling the property. In most states, a court is not involved in a nonjudicial foreclosure whatsoever.
