foreclosureIn Georgia, the first Tuesday of every month is “Foreclosure Day.” It is the one day a month when home lenders are able to foreclose on homes and other real estate, assuming they have met the other requirements of foreclosure such as notice to the borrowers.  Not surprisingly, the busiest day for Bankruptcy filings in Georgia is the Monday before Foreclosure Day.  If you are reading this because you are facing a foreclosure of your home, we have compiled many of the top posts about foreclosures below.
