Missed Mortgage Payments If you have fallen behind 1 to 2 months in payment, the mortgage holder will tell you that they will start the foreclosure process for your home. You will get a 90 Day Pre-Foreclosure Notice in the mail. You will have a chance to get help and try to recover before a court case is started.
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.

Foreclosures are public record and most counties publish their records online today. When you're looking into foreclosures, head to the county assessor's first.

On December 30, 2022, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law the Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act (the “Act”), which will hinder lenders and servicers' ability to foreclose on New York homeowners.
RPAPL Section 1301 amends New York's “election of remedies” law by providing that once a foreclosure action is adjudicated to be beyond the six-year limitations period, the lender is prohibited from filing a new action on the same debt (including a new action to sue on the promissory note).
File and send an Answer The first step for you after receiving the summons and complaint is to file an Answer with the court and to send the Answer to the law firm that is representing the lender. If the lawsuit is given to you by personal service, you have 20 days from the date of delivery to file and send an Answer.
