A mortgage bank has the power to foreclose and sell the collateral if the debtor is in default. However, this power does not apply in full. There is a risk of abuse of power in this respect.

The mortgage bank has an interest in claiming the outstanding claim and the debtor has an interest in maintaining his immovable property.
