Depending on situation, you could avoid a foreclosure and eliminate your mortgage debt with what’s called a short sale.
By missing payments, the bank will begin the process to recover their losses by seeking to claim your home. In the state of Illinois, the bank needs to go through the court system to claim your home through a judicial process.
Fortunately, for you, in the state of Illinois, you have the short sale process to possibly eliminate your mortgage debt. A short sale is where the bank lets you sell your home for less than the amount you owe on the mortgage. A short sale is long administrative process. This means that a short sale requires many conversations and negotiations with the bank including submitting many documents.
If your short sale is completed successfully, you will have sold your home and your lender could eliminate the debt generated by the difference of what you owed and what you sold it for. Usually, the difference is significant. If you were foreclosed upon, you would owe that difference.
