In Illinois, a Foreclosure Answer (Pro Se) is a legal document that a homeowner can file in response to a foreclosure complaint. This document is typically used when a homeowner is facing foreclosure and wishes to contest the complaint in court. The answer typically includes the homeowner's defenses to the foreclosure, such as claiming that the mortgage is defective or that the foreclosure process was improper. The homeowner must also state whether they admit or deny each of the allegations in the foreclosure complaint. There are two types of Illinois Foreclosure Answers (Pro Se): Responsive Answer and Motion to Dismiss. A Responsive Answer is an answer that responds to each allegation in the foreclosure complaint and sets out the homeowner's defenses. A Motion to Dismiss is a legal motion which requests that the court dismiss the foreclosure complaint on the grounds that the complaint does not properly state a legal claim.
