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.
