===If you default on your mortgage===
If you default on your mortgage, the lender can go to court to take the property or sell it to pay the mortgage debt. This process is called '''foreclosure'''. In a foreclosure, the lender cares about getting its money back. They don’t care about getting fair market value for the property or what might be left over for you. It’s important to take quick action if you’re having difficulties paying your mortgage. See our information on [[Foreclosure (Script 415)|foreclosure (no. 415)]].
