Foreclosures
When you buy a house or land on time, or borrow money to buy a house or land, the creditor usually takes a security interest in the property you buy. This means that if you don’t pay, the creditor can foreclose upon (or take back) that property. (A person or business you owe money to is called a creditor.) However, you have important legal rights that protect you. This article describes your legal rights if you are facing foreclosure on your home.
