The lender has taken back the home that was used as collateral, usually in accordance with a clause in the Loan contract or Mortgage Deed authorising repossession. For prime lenders the trigger is a default period of 30 days, extended depending on how many payment instalments have been prefabricated already, and other client/borrower relationship matters. The clause gives a right of repossession without turning to the courts and is valid in most states.
The lender will be reluctant to repossess, it’s a legally complex solution, the complexities of which vary from say to state, can be avoided if the borrower in default declares bankruptcy, and is likely right now to add to the lender’s problem of disposing of an ever increasing number of repossessed homes.
