I cannot pay on it anymore. Will my mortgage company foreclose on my house??

However, if there is a first mortgage on the property, then foreclosing the property will make the second lender liable for paying the dues of the first mortgage lender. In such a situation, he may charge off the debts. _________________ Good is the Enemy of Great.

Like 0 Dislike 0 Yes they have the right to foreclose it. You have to deal with an expert to help you out before it ends up in foreclosure. _________________ Home Loan, Mortgage Insurance Calculator, Mortgage Broker

Enough time wasted now...as pointed out succinctly by Niicss, the second lienholder isn't likely to begin a foreclosure action because they'd have to buy out the first mortgagee's interest in that action, which is not a particularly enticing thing to do for most secondary lenders. If charged off, you still owe the debt and the lien remains as well. Ultimately, when you sell the home some day, they'll get their money if your sales price is sufficiently high. _________________ George M.
