Well foreclosure is the legal process in which a mortgage lender takes a delinquent property from the current resident and sells it to another in hopes of recouping their investment. Foreclosure usually happens when a mortgage holder falls behind on their payments. The bank or mortgage company wants to get their money, so instead of waiting for the homeowner to pay up, they sell the property to someone else. The terms for foreclosure are usually spelled out in the mortgage you sign which means you've basically agreed to it beforehand!
What can you do when faced with Foreclosure? Well the website GotTroubles.com is a great resource for this. I actually found out all this information on foreclosures from them. While it's tough to find free advice about foreclosures on the web, this site actually has a lot of great information like the different types of foreclosure (judicial and non-judicial) and strategies to help you get out from under the threat of foreclosure. This can range from renegotiating your loan with the lender down to getting a foreclosure attorney and pleading your case in court.

Jason, what are your thoughts on these loan modification kits that let you negotiate with your lenders yourself?
Do you think people stand as good a chance using these as a professional loan mod company?
