Foreclosure/Loan Repayment Question - Posted by Todd

Depends on the bank. They could try to collect whatever the balance was that was owed, that they lost when it was sold (and this applies to a short sale too). Also the IRS can try to tax the difference also. However, couldn’t say how often either of them persues these avenues and there is legislation in Congress to try to take away these avenues of going after a seller/owner I believe.

When a bank forecloses on a property does the homeowner still have to repay backpayments and fees or does the foreclosure cancel them from their original contract?
