What Is a Notice of Default or Acceleration?

You’ve been going through a hard time, and it’s taken a toll on your financial health. Maybe you’re facing a divorce, job loss, injury or illness.

You’re struggling to keep up with your mortgage payments.

Then your mortgage lender sends you a notice of default/acceleration.

What does that mean?

Most mortgages contain an “acceleration” clause. When you miss a payment, your bank can demand that you pay off the entire balance of your loan right now. If you can’t, you face foreclosure.

Before they can enforce this, however, you get a limited time to fix the missed payment.

You and your home are in a vulnerable position. Protect your rights by working with a foreclosure defense attorney from the Horenstein, Nicholson & Blumenthal law firm.

    What Your Notice of Default/Acceleration Should Say

    These warning notices from your bank are often required to give you certain information:

    • The warning of your default—typically that you missed a payment
    • What you can do to correct the problem—typically paying all missed payments and late fees
    • Your deadline for correcting the problem—typically 30 days after the notice
    • What will happen if you don’t make up the missed payments and fees—typically accelerating your debt (requiring you to pay it off now) or foreclosing on your home

    Because of that 30-day window to prevent a worse outcome, when you get one of these notices, you need to act fast.

    You can start by getting the foreclosure attorneys at HNB to evaluate your situation for free.
