The purpose of filing a Personal Property Foreclosure is to recover personal property where there has been a violation of the terms of a lease or a security agreement. This process is used to obtain possession of collateral or leased property and to foreclose the debtor's interest in collateral.

When filing an Affidavit/Petition for a Personal Property Foreclosure, please be sure to adhere to the following instructions. Should you have any questions regarding this process, please contact the Clerk's office at 404-613-5040/5041.

Submit one (1) original and two (2) copies a completed Personal Property Foreclosure Affidavit.
Submit three (3) copies of the contract and/or written agreement.
Complete one Foreclosure Marshal's Entry of Service form for each defendant to be served.
Once the affidavit is served, the defendant has 14 days to respond, in writing, to the court.
• If a response is made by the defendant, a court date will be given and each party would need to personally appear unless the case is settled/dismissed prior to the court date.
