Q: if there was a deficiency judgement filed and awarded, how long does the mortgage company have to come after me?

A: The mortgage company has a substantial amount of time. You really need to retain an experienced mortgage foreclosure defense and bankruptcy attorney to eliminate this problem for you. If the property sold at sheriff sale for less than what is owed (a virtual certainty in 2018) then there is a deficiency. During this pandemic, you have a choice of either seeing your attorney in person or by way of a secure state of the art Zoom Video Conference. So you don’t have to be restricted by geography anymore in terms of choosing an attorney. You can “Meet” your attorney online for an initial strategy session from the comfort of your own home. Through mail, e-mail and electronic filing almost everything can be done without leaving your home, for most types of cases. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price.
