Default & Delinquency

Default: 
Failure to fulfill a legal obligation. A default includes failure to pay on a financial obligation such as not paying your mortgage. It may also be a failure to perform some action or service that is non-monetary like having a tenant that is not properly maintaining a property, they may be in default of the lease.

Delinquency:
Failure to make a payment when it is due. The condition of a loan when a scheduled payment has not been received by the due date, but generally used to refer to a loan for which payment is 30 or more days past due.

If you are a homeowner struggling with your mortgage payment, the most important thing is to avoid foreclosure. You have options available to you. A short sale is a real estate transaction in which the lender agrees to the sale of a house for less than the balance owed on the loan. Banks are usually much more interested in facilitating short sales which avoid costly foreclosures. Short sales also allow you to repair your credit sooner than if you went through a foreclosure.
