In Ohio, the foreclosure process can take anywhere from six to 18 months or longer. How long will a foreclosure action or bankruptcy stay on my credit report? A foreclosure stays on your credit report for seven years, and a bankruptcy stays on for 10 years.
11.0 HEARING AND SUBMISSION OF MOTIONS If the motion requires consideration of facts not appearing of record, the movant shall serve and file copies of all affidavits, depositions, photographs or documentary evidence which the movant desires to submit in support of the motion.
Get in touch with your lender as soon as you realize you may be in trouble. Lenders would rather have a paying customer than an empty house on their hands. Filing for bankruptcy or a lawsuit can slow or stop the foreclosure process, but start by contacting your lender.
As part of the decree of foreclosure, the purchaser at the judicial sale is awarded a "writ of possession.” This allows the purchaser to evict the former owners of the home without the need to file a separate eviction case.
