The mortgage lender will begin calling you around the 15th or 16 day past your due date.You will also have to pay a late fee. Your late fee is based on the original size of your mortgage.

On day 30 you, the borrower are legally in default. You will receive more phone calls from your lender. Around day 45-60 a demand letter is sent to remind you on paper what the mortgage terms are, and that your agreement has been breached. You will be given 30 days to pay the back amount owed.
