What is first payment default?

Posted on: 05th Dec, 2006 06:19 am
What is first payment default? Is the time frame stil 90 days or can they forclose right away? The mortgage company worked with me because it was a misunderstanding but said technically I was in first payment default and they have the right to foreclose.
If you miss out on a payment, the lender has the right to call the loan due. But generally they do not do so until there are 3 defaults.

You should check your mortgage contract; the contract must have stated how many missed payments will be allowed before the Notice of default would be filed and sent to you.

Hi Jeff,

The first payment default refers to the very first payment on the loan which you have missed out. A lender may not foreclosure right after a single payment default but then this varies from one lender to another. For more information on this issue, go through our previous discussion on Can Mortgage be foreclosed on one missed payment .

Thanks,

Caron.

robert, i gather you want to keep this vehicle. a first payment default will send the repo man out to your house immediately. so, "a person" is apparently lacking any knowledge of what to do. please don't follow that advice. even if you wanted to give the truck back, you'd be better off calling up and saying that rather than making them come out and grab the vehicle from you.

is "a person" a friend of yours? more accurately, was "a person" a friend of yours until now?
