§ 7461 Loan Default Acceleration Rights

Key Takeaways

  • •If you don't pay your property taxes, rent, insurance, or other fees on time, the bank can make you pay the whole loan right away.
  • •The bank can also sell your house if you miss these payments, even if the house is still worth a lot of money.
  • •This rule applies to any company that owns your loan, not just the original bank.

Example

You have a mortgage on your house, and you forget to pay your property taxes for a year.

The bank can demand you pay the entire loan immediately or even sell your house to get their money back, even if your house is still in good shape.
