Foreclosure occurs when a borrower misses installments for up to 6 months. The lender then has the legal right to seize the collateral and auction it to recover payments.
### How to stop foreclosure?
You can take a Personal Loan to cover the arrears and stop the legal process.
### Steps before applying:
- **Calculate arrears**: Know exactly how much you need to pay to the bank.
- **Check Credit Score**: Ensure you are eligible for the new personal loan.
- **Analyze Secured vs Unsecured**: Decide which type best fits your current situation.
- **Inventory Collateral**: See if you have other valuaubles for a secured personal loan.
- **Interest Analysis**: Know how much interest you can afford on the new loan.
### Conclusion
A new loan is also a liability. You must be ready to manage this second liability over your existing one to successfully stop foreclosure.
