When Banks Change the Locks on Your Home Before the Foreclosure Sheriff Sale

Subject: preforeclosure

Hi, I am behind on my mortgage because I was laid off of work for a few months. My mortgage company says that I'm in pre-foreclosure, nothing has been filed with the courts and no sale date has been set. However, I just had someone show up at the door to 'change the locks' if the house was not occupied. If I hadn't been home from work sick, the locks would have been changed and I am technically not even in foreclosure for another 2 weeks. Can they legally do that?
