Asked 11/3/2011

How do i find out if we have not recieved anything legal tell us our home is been Foreclosed?

Two days ago I went to the mail box and had a letter from a attoreny that they say are representing Bank Of America to collect our home debit. There was one letter to me and two t my husband. Looks like they are asking for in full amunt. Our home it says is in default. My husband told me that it had to go into default because if it did we could pull off our 401k to pay it getting it current.

We also received some yellow postcard that said our home is to be sold in 14 days now 12 today! Yesterday I went to the mail box and found a envelope with my husbands name and our address, it was mailed. It had the following information. A coulpes introducing themself and saying they want to buy our home! Where did they see our home for sale? We don't have it for sale. Waiting on default letter which we have been asking bank for, for over 6 months! Now as I stated we have an Attorney's Frim stating we are in defalut.

Is there a Foreclosed List of homes in our area and could our home be on that? How do we find out if our home is to be sold and the date of sale? Could our home be sold in 14 days!

Somone please help. My husband told me he was taking care of this but I want to be sure he has time. to take care of it and our home won't be sold right from under us without our knowledge!

Thank you,

Debbie

Answer 1/2 - Submitted 11/3/2011

Your first step should be to contact the people at the Bank of America where you got the mortgage and ask them what can be done to save your home.

The federal government has offered incentives to all the big banks and other lenders to do everything they can to help people refinance to pay their mortgages more comfortably, instead of continuing on with the avalanche of foreclosures that's ruining American family life all across the country.

You can contact the federal housing authorities also. You could go into court to try to halt the foreclosure on the ground that you have the 401k money to bring payments up to date, and have asked repeatedly for alternatives to foreclosure, offering to work with the bank to refinance or do any settlement of your mortgage account that they suggest.

Also contact competing banks and lenders to see if they can take over the mortgage by paying off the Bank of America and initiating a new mortgage with them.

Would it be wise to also contact Bank Of America and ask them to produce the note on the home? I have read that this can buy you time with forclosure.
