Of course, while this is something that the bank can do, the aggressiveness that each bank takes in its foreclosure efforts will vary. Foreclosure can sometimes be brought very quickly, but that is not always the case. At some point after default, the bank must send you a notice stating specifically how much you are behind by. The notice will give you a specific date to catch up on these payments. The amount of time you have under the Notice of Right to Cure will depend on your loan terms and whether you apply for a loan modification.
Massachusetts foreclosure laws have identified certain loan features to be more problematic than others. Generally speaking, if you put only a small amount of money down on the mortgage, or if your loan had a low introductory interest rate, then the bank must also send you paperwork stating that you have a right to request a loan modification.
They must mail the offer to you in a certified first class letter.

The procedure will most likely be nonjudicial out of court , although judicial foreclosures are also allowed. Massachusetts law specifies how nonjudicial foreclosure procedures work, and both federal and state laws give you rights and protections throughout the process. If you get a loan to buy residential real estate in Massachusetts, you'll likely sign two documents: a promissory note and a mortgage.
The promissory note is the document that contains your promise to repay the loan along with the repayment terms. The mortgage is the document that gives the lender a security interest in the property and will probably include a power of sale clause.
If you fail to make the payments, the power of sale clause gives the lender the right to sell the home nonjudicially so it can recoup the money it loaned you. If you miss a payment, the servicer can charge a late fee after the grace period expires.
Most mortgage loans give a grace period of ten to fifteen days before you'll incur late charges. To find out the grace period in your situation and the amount of the monthly late fee, review the promissory note or your monthly billing statement. If you miss a few mortgage payments, the servicer will probably send letters and call you to try to collect. Federal mortgage servicing laws require the servicer to contact you or attempt to contact you by phone to discuss foreclosure alternatives—called "loss mitigation" options—no later than 36 days after a missed payment and again within 36 days after each following missed payment.
No more than 45 days after a missed payment, the servicer must let you know in writing about loss mitigation options that could be available, and assign personnel to help you. Some exceptions to a few of these requirements exist, like if you file bankruptcy or tell the servicer not to contact you under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Many mortgages in Massachusetts have a provision that requires the lender to send a breach letter if you fall behind in payments. This notice tells you that the loan is in default.
If you don't cure the default, the lender can accelerate the loan call it due and go ahead with the foreclosure. If your home is a borrower-occupied dwelling with four or fewer units, you get 90 days to cure the default under Massachusestts state law.
For further information contact Michael Radin, Esq. This was done because loans are generally transferred many times before finally residing in a pool from which securities are sold. By finding that the securitization documents failed to list the loans at issue, the Ibanez court undermined any claims that the loans were ever actually transferred into the pools, as had been represented to pool investors.
This gap in the securitization paperwork represents a fundamental breakdown in the process and casts a pall not just on what the investors in the pools received, but on foreclosures on loans supposedly in those pools. That title standard says that title is not defective where an assignment of mortgage is recorded either before or after the foreclosure by the assignee. The SJC found that the title standard applies to confirmatory assignments of an earlier valid assignments made prior to the publication of notice and the sale: In the Ibanez case, there was no such prior assignment.
