Receiving a Summons and Complaint regarding the foreclosure of your home can be a particularly stressful experience. Fortunately, there are several ways to prevent the sale of your home. Most of these methods begin with asking the court to stop the sale.
Asking the Court to Stop the Sale
You can ask the Court to stop the sale by making an Order to Show Cause. If you defaulted by never filing an Answer to the Summons and Complaint, you can ask the court to vacate (cancel) the default judgment and let you file an Answer if you have defenses to the foreclosure.
You can ask the Court to stop the sale by making an Order to Show Cause if you have a good reason, like:
- You have the money owed
- You are in the middle of refinancing your home with a loan that will cover the mortgage and other costs
- You have found a buyer for your home and have an offer for a sale
- You have filed for bankruptcy
