The information about enforcement and court processes in this part is only for Western Australia.
If the lender has a court judgment against you, it will probably include orders that you pay money to the lender (to cover the loan amount, arrears, interests and legal costs) and also an order that the lender is entitled to repossess your home.
You can check if the lender has a judgment against you by contacting the Supreme Court of WA registry.
What happens next?
If you do not cooperate or follow what the judgment says, the lender can apply to the court for orders to have the judgment enforced. This can include asking for an order to repossess and sell your home.
This video explains what steps a lender may take if it has a judgment to repossess your home.
How long the lender might wait before enforcing the judgment will vary. It may be possible for you to negotiate with the lender to delay enforcing the judgment. For example, you may try to ask for more time to move out but it is up to the lender to agree.
You will normally be given several weeks' notice before the lender takes steps to repossess your house.
