Selling a home without the borrower being given the opportunity to cure a default is an example of which of the following?

• A. Equity Stripping
• B. Credit Insurance Packing
• C. Foreclosure abuses
• D. Chunking

Answer: (C)

The action described falls under foreclosure abuses—the improper handling of the foreclosure process that harms borrowers. When a borrower is in default, they typically must be given a cure period or an opportunity to modify the loan before a foreclosure sale. Skipping that step and selling the home without allowing the borrower a chance to cure violates the intended process and regulatory protections, making it an abusive practice in mortgage servicing. The other terms describe different issues (equity stripping targets a homeowner’s equity; credit insurance packing involves bundling unnecessary insurance; chunking refers to hiding costs by splitting debts), none of which fit the scenario.
