Foreclosure

I heard a news report just the other day that said a woman significantly delayed her being booted out of her house under foreclosure simply by asking the mortgage company to provide a copy of the original loan agreement.

Apparently, because mortgages get sold from bank to bank so much the original paperwork was filed away somewhere and the homeowner could not be forced out without her request being granted.

I saw that on Yahoo yesterday.

Well, looks like I am going to have my house foreclosed on, so I was just seeing if anybody on these forums have been through a foreclosure, and if so, how bad did it mess up your credit? Any help would be great. Thanks.

How many bedrooms.. when was it built.. how much land?

Is it in St Mary's County??

You're welcome!

Never mind.. I just saw where it says you're in Lusby..


It would have to be a HUGE short sale for me to consider that..

like 100% short..

Sorry to rain on your hope parade, but Maryland has already closed the loophole on the lost note fiasco last year:

"Legal junkies may also be amused to note that this law specifically allows that "proof of ownership" of a loan required to be provided with the docket file may be certified copies of mortgages, notes, and assignments in lieu of the originals. That should end all the hoo-haw over missing originals."

Plus your notes are already online at the Maryland Landrec website (requires a free requested password):

I'd recommend you do however read the article above to see the timeline of how long you have potentially before you get tossed out. Be smart and save your money for a new rental etc. while waiting.

You can also monitor your case here:

Despite whatever the lenders may threaten on the phone or in writing, until they actually file against you in the court system and do all the required steps, they can't get you out of the house.

NOBODY should get involved in a short-sale in which they agree to pay the lender any significant amount of money that the lender lost. IE, that 90k scenario above is pure stupidity for someone to agree to pay and only the dummies do. Everybody else is just walking away and not paying it. You can go through the recent foreclosures in the court records all day long and nobody has had a judgement filed against them for the loss. Even those that didn't file bankruptcy.

I am probably stupid, but I would feel compelled to pay back the difference in the shortfall. I mean, really, if I agreed to pay so much back on a loan, then that is what I agreed to, if the house sold for under what I owed on a loan it is just a matter of principle (to me) to keep up my end of the deal with my lender. :shrug:

That's an honorable response, however I believe the reality is whether you participated in the housing orgy or not, you are going to pay back the money in the form of extra taxation to clean up the mess. So in essence, I believe that would leave you paying the bill twice.

You're not stupid, but because of your ethics, you're going to get screwed.

I will be paying the tax bill regardless. I take it up the butt already in taxes. I don't want to even think about how much more will be required of me to save the banking industry. :frown:

I mean how ridiculous is it that they're being given my money so that they can turn around and lend me my own money back and charge interest? It's a crazy crazy world.
