Yes there is. You may contact the lender that is doing the foreclosure, tell them you have a vested interest in the property, and you need to know the amount that is owed to them to stop their foreclosure.
They might want proof so you might want to get a copy of your lien from a title company. Faxit to them as soon as possible.
Once you have this information, contact a foreclosure service in your locality, give them the information and they will foreclose on your behalf.
Some charge an up front fee and some don’t, so if you are short of funds you might shop around until you find one that take their fees out on the back end of the foreclosure. They will take over the foreclosure from the previous lender.
It does not matter unless you don’t have the funds because who ever pay for it will get it back if the owner bring the foreclosure current or the house is sold at the bid or sale.
If the house do not sale then you will have to come up with the monthly payment to the mortgage company as well as the foreclosure services fee, but the house is now yours.
I hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.
