Foreclosure is a judicial process where the lender files a claim to sell the house when a Calgary homeowner fails to make subsequent payments against the debt.
The common reasons that trigger foreclosure are the loss of a job, reduced income, medical emergencies, overspending, or credit card debt.
The foreclosure procedure goes through stages including notice, legal notice, foreclosure claim, and property sale.
To stop foreclosure, homeowners can reassess their finances, negotiate with the lender, explore refinancing options, or sell the property before foreclosure.
