Private mortgage insurance or PMI is insurance to protect the lender if the home is foreclosed upon and there is a deficiency. That deficiency is paid by the insurance company. It would not appear to have an effect on the foreclosure proceeding, just on your liability for a deficiency. However it is to your advantage also to have MI if your house goes into foreclosure. Not only do they pay the lender and cure a portion of the definciency, but often they get involved up front and try to work with the borrower and lender both to avert the foreclosure. That way they are paying a lower claim and the borrower gets to keep their house. I've even heard of the insurance company helping the borrower get short term loans, renegotiate the mortgage or helping them find a buyer.
