We are in the process of a short sale on our property, we received an offer on February 26. Currently the appraisal is being done on the property. Yesterday we received papers for Civil Action-Law Complaint in Mortgage Foreclosure from attorney from what I am assuming is Countrywide/Bank of America. It says we must take action within 20 days after Complaint and Notice are served by entering a written appearance personally or by attorney and filing in wristing with the Court your defenses or objections. I have no idea what this means. Does this mean that after 20 days the property is going up for sherriff sale? I don't understand why they would proceed with foreclosure when we are in the middle of the short sale process...Please HELP!!

i live in florida and recently got discharged from chapter 7 bankruptcy where i surrenderd my home in the bankruptcy, also a second mortgage. my attorney warned me to be very, very careful about getting involved in a short sale because it might reactivate my second mortgage and make me liable for any negative equity. so now i am going into foreclosure but if i could avoid it i would like to. do you have any advice on this?
thank you

As you've surrendered the property to the lender, you won't be able to avoid a foreclosure. The lender will foreclose the property to recover the dues but will not be able to come after you for the deficient balance resulting from the sale as the debts have been discharged in the bankruptcy filing.
