citi mortgage gave my husband the run around when he attempted to have our home reappraised, after getting nowhere and paperwork after paperwork being submitted he requested a modification. after that process of back and forth with paper work after paperwork being submitted he was told he had to be in rears to recieve help so he did not pay for 2 months and then they sent everything to modification. after that was repeated phone call after phone call to them and all they said was it is in review. we started recieving forclosure paperwork and he was not worried because he was in contact with citi mortgage and they told him he was okay when he did reach someone who was supposedly working on the account. he even called the va for assistance since we had a va loan and the va said continue calling the home was not in forclosure. in the meantime we were still getting papers from outside places january 2011 my husband decided that since he could not talk with anyone and he was getting the run around and being asked to reproduce documents repeatedly he would no longer pay. last week i recieved a letter on the door saying we needed to vacate or make arrangements to vacate before law officials were notified. we recieved a letter from citi-mortgage within the same week stating hour home was sold on february 1st. the new owner apparently is bank of america. the letter recieved from citi mortgage appears to be a deed in lieu of foreclosure. my husband never signed that paperwork. what can we do?
Get a Real Estate Attorney immediatley - It sounds as though you may have lost your home. In most states they must evict which is different everywhere so while fighting this you should also find out what your legal rights are. Not paying was a big mistake - the bank has legal rights and while you were speaking with them about a modification in no way are they obligated to change the terms of your loan. They can play games forever knowing most people will give up. You really need to seek local legal counsel as soon as possible - there are too many variables regionally for anyone on here to help with this issue to the depth you need help.
Good Luck
