I would like to tease out the same point. Are there no court costs whereby the bank has to put up fees? From Senator Conway-Walsh's questions and the answers given, I assume that when the bank goes to court it looks for somebody to be evicted, which is the only term for it, because he or she has not been compliant with the agreement the bank has had. I presume the bank must put up fees and that the State does not pay all of these costs. I presume the security employed by the sheriff or county registrar ultimately gets billed back to the bank.
