Cornwall is an Eastern Ontario city in Canada, and the main urban centre for neighbouring communities likeLIngleside. It is the headquarters of the counties of, Glengarry, Stormont and Dundas. The city is situated along Highway401 in the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor. Cornwall has long been used as a corridor facilitating people’s migration and trade. It is, therefore, understandable that today, Cornwall is an important point of entry to Canada.

The process will begin as soon as a loan has defaulted for more than 15 days. The lender starts by issuing a “Notice of Sale Under Mortgage” in the mail. This should be corrected in about 35 days to bring the loan to good standing. If you are unable or unwilling to pay, the lender has no choice but to issue a “statement of claim” which is actually a list of the many fees accompanying mortgage settlement. These fees include legal, mortgage, land rates due and other fees unique to Cornwall. If the lender fails to pay up at this point, there will be a writ of possession followed by a request to evict. Your eviction is necessary as it paves way for sale of the home so that the creditor may recover their investment. In a power of sale situation, the lender doesn’t get title to the property and the homeowner is therefore entitled to any money remaining from the sale. There is very little though, after legal and other fees. A foreclosure is different in that the borrower loses both home and remaining equity.
When banks or other lenders decide to acquire your property through a power of sale or foreclosure, there are ways you can stop the action. If there is enough equity remaining, you can either sell off your home or seek another mortgage to pay off the initial debt. If equity is not enough, experts advise people to consider their options, rather than simply letting the banks win. Many people in Cornwall have average equity, which demands professional help when faced with a power of sale or foreclosure.
