1Opinion of the Court

KAYATTA, Circuit Judge.

This appeal arises out of a suit by defaulting borrowers who seek to assign fault to the manner in which a creditor foreclosed on its collateral, in this instance a multimillion dollar home located on Martha’s Vineyard. For the following reasons, we reject the borrowers’ fusillade of ehal-lenges to the creditor’s conduct, except that we find that the creditor waived its rights to a deficiency judgment by failing to comply with a Massachusetts statute that regulates the availability of actions for such judgments.
