Question: I live in California. My house went into foreclosure and sold at auction. I have a home equity line that I owe 54K on. The home equity line is current. If I continue to pay on it, what will happen? Will I be able to continue to make payments or will they come after me for the full amount?

Line of credit in first position. What happens after a foreclosure by the second lender (in California)?
Question: This question is about a line of credit in first position and what happens after a foreclosure by the second lender(in California). The loans are in an unusual order. I provided a second loan for an owner of a rental house (meaning I am a lender, somewhat like a bank). The owner/borrower already had a Wells Fargo line of credit secured by that rental house. Since the homeowner (now the previous owner) failed to make payments to me I caused the foreclosure and am the present owner. I want to ask “What happens with regard to the line of credit?”. The LOC is for $75,000 which is slightly more than the current value of the house. For that reason I think Wells Fargo will not want to foreclose on me. Will Wells Fargo in fact pursue me at all rather than the original borrower? If so, will they want instant repayment? If I can’t repay immediately how will Wells Fargo determine the rate of interest and repayment schedule?
