Your mortgage goes into default when you haven't paid your mortgage payments for a certain number of months (sometimes as little as 3). Once someone has gone into default, their mortgage is considered a 'non-performing loan', or NPL, by the bank. They then keep calling you for a little while until they really decide that you are not going to pay, at which point they then legally seize (i.e. repossess) your house since it is the underlying security/collateral that was backing your house.
So in answer to why they do it: since they are not going to get any payments from you, they need to get some sort of return/recovery on their investment. So they then try and sell the house in order to realize that return/recovery on their invesment. If they make more money than they needed on your house, they may even give you the extra profit, but your credit score is still ruined.

yeah It means that the banks are taking the house back because you didn't pay your payments, and you have to move out!

Our mum brought our house out-right, before she passed away. Anyway...Its when the bailiffs come knocking at your door to kick you out of your own house at 11am on a Thursday morning!! My former brother took out a loan against our house (without my knowledge!) He defaulted on the payments and we lost our house! The best part was thou...when the house was sold, i got my share of the payout and my former brother got nothing as his share was taken off him for the loan he took out!!!!

Depending on the context ? . . . if a person owns a home and it is mortgaged with a bank and they have stopped paying the mortgage payments ~ the bank could repossess the home.

Without more data on the precise situation hard to say more than this

It means when your house is being taken from the bank because you could not pay the mortgage which you took.

1) you buy a house, and you get a mortgage to pay the seller of the house
2) you don't pay the mortgage, fall behind it, whatever semantics you want to use
3) the bank gives up on getting payments from you and decide they are better off taking the house (repossessing it), sell it at auction (foreclosure), and you are still on the hook for the difference between what you owed in the mortgage (including interest, penalties and fees) and what the bank collected after expenses.
4) you'll probably declare bankruptcy

It's like a root canal, the sooner the better, and you can start again.

means that the owner of the house (the mortgage company) who you/we borrowed the money from...(bcoz a house is not legally yours until you pay all the mortgage back to the lender)....has taken back their asset.....as you/we have been defaulting on payments...

Heartache at watching something you have loved and cared for disappear from your grasp.

IF it is you that is looking at your house being repossessed (in the UK that is what it is called) then act now speak to someone. I have a relative who spoke to their bank manager the day before repossession and they managed to stop the court action by getting the mortgage company to back off. they were fortunate however that the mortgage company were part of the bank.

My advice to anyone is pay the Mortgage the rest of the stuff can wait so what at least you will have a roof over your head.

For a car, it's called a reposession.
For a house it's called a foreclosure.

But it's the same thing:

You took out a loan to buy something, and, in return for a lower interest rate, you promised "if I don't repay this loan, then you can take my house"

And the bank said "all right, since there's less risk that we'll lose our money (because we can sell your house), we'll give you a 6% interest rate instead of a 13% rate."

Taking the house if you don't repay is called "getting foreclosed on"

The bank calls the sheriff, tells him the situation, and the sheriff comes to the house and says "this is not your house any more, and the new owner (the bank) doesn't want you in their house, so get out"
