In Oregon, the penalties for missing mortgage payments typically include late fees, damage to credit score, and potential foreclosure proceedings. Late fees can vary depending on the terms of the mortgage agreement, but they are usually a percentage of the overdue payment amount. Missing mortgage payments can also have a negative impact on the borrower's credit score, making it more difficult to qualify for future loans or credit cards. In the worst-case scenario, if multiple payments are missed and the borrower fails to bring the account current, the lender may initiate foreclosure proceedings, leading to the loss of the property. It is important for borrowers facing financial difficulties to communicate with their lender and explore options for assistance, such as loan modification or forbearance, to avoid these penalties.
