Definition

Foreclosure is one possible end-state in a lending relationship where a lender attempts via a legal process (in court) to recover balances of loans extended to a borrower who has stopped making payments. The main mechanism for recovery is the forced sale of the asset that used as the collateral for the loan (mortgaged).
