Strict Deadlines for Homeowners
Arkansas law is incredibly efficient for lenders. Once the 60-day notice period expires and the auction is held, your right to own the property is extinguished immediately. There is no buy-back period. Our verified providers specialize in the Arkansas Statutory Foreclosure Act to secure reinstatements before the hammer falls.
Arkansas Frequently Asked Questions
Can I stop an Arkansas foreclosure by paying the back payments?
Yes. Under the Statutory Foreclosure Act, you have a legal right to "reinstate" the loan at any time until the sale occurs by paying the past-due amount, interest, and costs. However, once the sale is final, this right disappears.
What is the "Affidavit of Statutory Compliance"?
In Arkansas, lenders must file an affidavit proving they have complied with all notice requirements. If they fail to mail the notices correctly, the sale can be challenged in court, but this must be done before the auction.
Can bankruptcy stop an Arkansas foreclosure sale today?
Yes. Filing for bankruptcy triggers an "Automatic Stay" under federal law. This functions as an immediate injunction that prohibits the lender from moving forward with the sale, even if it is scheduled for later the same day. This provides a temporary window to reorganize and potentially save the home through a Chapter 13 plan.
