However, if the bank was held in bad faith and you did nothing after that (wherein you had 5 or 10 days to file a document with the court), the matter is reassigned to the mediation foreclosure program, if you elect to in the default packet. So, now that you have gotten your default, fill out the packet and pay the required fee, while electing to go back to mediation and you will. You will buy yourself much more time this way so that you can contact a reliable attorney or mortgage modification company to help you short sell. Otherwise, wait for the mediation and enjoy your free rent.
