Foreclosure filings in South Carolina circuit courts are the formal legal mechanism through which lenders or loan servicers seek court authorization to recover a property when a borrower has fallen behind on mortgage obligations. The case, captioned Selene Finance LP v. Jonathan David Hutto Jr., now sits on the docket of the Bamberg County Circuit Court.

Selene has stated publicly that it recognizes homeownership can be challenging when financial difficulties arise and has said it is committed to helping customers avoid financial hardship if possible. The company has also said it has helped thousands of homeowners avoid foreclosure using its solutions.

South Carolina is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning lenders must proceed through the courts rather than execute a non-judicial sale. Cases filed in circuit court, such as this one, typically involve a period during which defendants may respond to the complaint before a judge rules on whether foreclosure can proceed.

The filing marks a new entry on the Bamberg County Circuit Court's civil docket as the court heads into spring 2026.
