You can't simply foreclose because you are unhappy with inconsistent payment. The material breach of the mortgage agreement/note is determined by the terms of the mortgage and the promissory note. You will need to retain a real estate litigation attorney, and likely be prepared to pay out of pocket for the legal action, with the idea of adding the money spend to the judgment assuming your PN provides for legal fees for enforcement.
