Idaho · Non-judicial state · Idaho Code §§ 45-1502 to 45-1515

Idaho gives you 115 days to catch up, then there is no way back.

A trustee sale with no lawsuit, but a long notice ladder: the notice of sale must be mailed at least 120 days before the auction, and you can catch up by paying what is due within 115 days after the notice of default is recorded. After the sale there is no right to buy the home back, and the lender has three months to sue for any shortfall.

Anything else true

Three dates decide an Idaho case. The notice of default, which starts a 115 day clock to catch up. The notice of sale, which must be mailed at least 120 days before the auction. And the sale itself, after which there is no redemption.

Where to get real help, free

Regional legal aid programmes take foreclosure cases at no cost if you qualify by income. Start at LawHelp.org, which lists free legal aid programmes state by state.

HUD-approved housing counsellors are free in every state — 1-800-569-4287. Some courts and counties run foreclosure mediation or settlement programmes; ask the court clerk whether yours does.

Anyone who contacts you first, guarantees they can stop the sale for a fee paid up front, or asks you to sign the deed over is running a scam. Never sign a deed to someone promising to save your home.
