Larimer foreclosure cure starts before the sale
A Porch Note from Colorado Porch — plain-English local details for all 64 Colorado counties.
“I can catch up before the auction” only holds true if the official cure process gets started in time. The right to fix a defaulted loan and stop the sale is real, but it does not happen on its own, and it belongs only to certain people with a legal right to cure.
The first move is filing a Notice of Intent to Cure with the Public Trustee before the scheduled sale. That filing is what sets the rest in motion. The Public Trustee then requests the cure figures from the lender and hands back the exact amount owed and the deadline to pay it.
That amount is not something to estimate from a stack of old monthly statements. It can fold in past-due payments, fees, and costs on top of the missed principal and interest, and it comes attached to a firm deadline that does not bend for good intentions.
Once foreclosure has begun, waiting until sale week to learn how cure works leaves almost no room to act. Go to the Public Trustee page early, file the right notice if you qualify, and get the official figures in hand. A homeowner who knows the real number with time to spare has a fighting chance; one who guesses at it the week of the auction usually does not.
