Before you know how to defend foreclosure process, it is important to know actual foreclosure process. Here is how the Oregon foreclosure process step by step.

In Oregon, the foreclosure process starts at the moment the notice of default is recorded under ORS 86.735 and advertisement for sale is issued as provided in ORS 86.740 to 86.755. After recording the notice of default and at least 120 days before the day of sale, the notice of sale should be served to home owner or any grantor facing the foreclosure.

If the trustee fails to give notice according to rule mentioned above then he posses the right to file a case against the trustee in the circuit court where the real property is located about the notice of sale is not served to him as required by ORS 86.740 and 86.750 saying that the omitted person could have cured the default under ORS 86.753 and sustained the damages that resulted the loss of property as a result such person had loss the opportunity to cure the default.

After the auction date is set, publication of sale is to be done in such a way that published once a week for 4 weeks where the last publication is no sooner than 20 days before the sale. Before the sale the trustee must submit the affidavits of the completed service and publication to prove the publication.

With in the period of 120 days time given after the foreclosure notice is given to home owner, there are many things that can happen. For example: the foreclosure auction may be postponed to another 180 days before the process restart or the defaulter may cure the loan or brought to current with no acceleration.

If you being a home owner facing a foreclosure feel that you have been treated unfairly, fight back. You can do this by following a produce the note strategy. In any state in US, you can sue the foreclosure by produce a note strategy. There are two types of foreclosure, non-judicial and judicial. Even if you foreclosure is non judicial you can ask the entity foreclosing your property to produce the note that you owe debt to them. It works because there is only one paper regarding your mortgage on which you had signed. If you don’t do this then you simply allow the foreclosure process to process and loss the home.

You can also defend the foreclosure process if any of the steps mentioned above were not followed and not served you with required notices well before the foreclosure process begins.
