It is the mortgagor's responsibility to remember the due date and send the payment prior to the due date, not after. Generally, thirty days after the due date if payment is not received, the mortgage is in default. In the event of default, the mortgage may give the lender the right to accelerate payments, take possession and receive rents, and start foreclosure. Defaults may also come about by the failure to observe other conditions in the mortgage or deed of trust.

Often when using your PC you are presented with a number of options. For example:
Which Printer do you want to use?
Do you want to print in Portrait or Landscape?
Do you want to save this file in the C:\WINDOWS directory ? The default option is that which the software takes if you do not elect to answer one of these questions
This is the default term used to describe a preset value for some option in a computer program. It is used when a setting is not specified by the user. For example, the default font setting in Netscape Communicator is "Times." If you don't go to the Netscape preferences and change it to something else, the "Times" font will be used -- by default. Typically default settings in programs are set to what most people would choose, so there's no big reason to change them. However, if you're one of those people who has to customize everything and can't stand having a single option set to default, feel free to do whatever you want. The term default can also be used as a verb. If a custom setting won't work for some reason, the program will "default" to the default setting. If that's not enough, default can also be used as an adjective. For example, say you're working on computer that is on a network and you print something when there is no printer specified. If you don't get some nasty error about how you should have selected a printer, your work will be printed on a default printer. Hence, default is used as an adjective to describe the printer.
A data value, option setting, collation, or name assigned automatically by the system if a user does not specify the value, setting, collation, or name. An action taken automatically at certain events if a user has not specified the action to take.

Default Definition from Law Dictionaries & Glossaries
A failure to comply with a term of an agreement. For example, a default by a tenant under a lease agreement permits a landlord to take certain actions in response to the default.
The failure to fulfill a legal obligation or duty, such as neglecting to pay back a loan on schedule. Under a default termination, the contractor has no rights to claims or profit. In addition, in a construction contract, the contractor's bonding company must then either find a new contractor or complete the job themselves at the original contract price.
Default is often understood the non-appearance of the defendant within the time prescribed by law to defend himself. It also signifies the non-appearance of the plaintiff to prosecute his claim.
When the plaintiff makes default, he may be nonsuited; and when the defendant makes default, judgment by default is rendered against him.
By the 4th section of the English statute of frauds it is enacted that 'no action shall be brought to charge the defendant upon any special promise to answer for the debt, default, or miscarriage of another person, unless the agreement,' etc., 'shall be in writing,' etc. By default under this statute is understood the non-performance of duty, though the same be not founded on a contract.
