When a bank forcloses on a home, they put it up for auction and sell it to the highest bidder. If the highest bid doesn't satisfy the outstanding balance of the mortgage, then they will expect you go to pay the difference.

Now before I give you advice, tell me how old is this debt? In other words, when did you make your last mortgage payment?

Well the SOL hasn't expired so you are still liable for this debt. Usually, they will take you to court and seek a judgement to garnish your wages or your bank account. I'm not sure if Mississippi has different rules for this, so check again tomorrow in case someone here has more info on that.

Are you able to make any kind of payment on this where you can try to get a payment plan with the bank? If not you would want to go to court and if it is a hardship to be garnished, take proof of this.
