However, under the nonjudicial procedure, you will not be subject to a deficiency judgment or personal liability for the lien being foreclosed even if the sale of your timeshare estate resulting from the nonjudicial foreclosure is insufficient to satisfy the amount of the lien being foreclosed. You may object to the sale of your timeshare estate through the nonjudicial foreclosure procedure and require foreclosure of your timeshare interest to proceed through the judicial process. An objection must be made in writing and received by the trustee before the end of the thirty-day time period. You must state the reason for your objection and include your address on the written objection. In a judicial foreclosure proceeding that results from your objection, you may be subject to a deficiency judgment and personal liability for the lien being foreclosed if the sale of your timeshare estate resulting from the judicial foreclosure is insufficient to satisfy the amount of the lien being foreclosed. Furthermore, you also may be subject to a personal money judgment for the costs and attorney's fees incurred by the lienholder in the judicial foreclosure proceeding if the court finds that there is a complete absence of a justifiable issue of either law or fact raised by your objections or defenses. You have the right to cure your default at any time before the sale of your timeshare estate by payment of all past due loan payments or assessments, accrued interest, late fees, taxes, and all fees and costs incurred by the lienholder and trustee, including attorney's fees and costs, in connection with the default;"

When a trustee is prohibited from proceeding under this article, the lienholder is required to file a foreclosure action as provided in Article 7 of Chapter 3 of Title 29.(b) If the court determines that there was a complete absence of justifiable issues of either law or fact raised by the objection received by the trustee under this section or the defenses raised in the subsequent judicial foreclosure proceeding, the lienholder is entitled to entry of a separate personal judgment against the obligor for reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred by the mortgagee or managing entity, as applicable, in the judicial foreclosure action;(8) the notice of sale required by Section 27-32-335 has been recorded in the public records of the county in which the timeshare estate is located.2000 Act No. 262, Section 1.
