I have a first of $108,000 and a purchase money HELOC of $30,000 both with Wells Fargo. The condo value is $100,000. The first is willing to take a deed in lieu. The Wells Fargo HELOC dept sent me a written offer of a 50% settlement. I mailed a check for that amount, which was returned. When I called, Wells Fargo said that “management†now wants a 70% settlement instead. Has anyone else had this happen? Would I stand a good chance of getting this tossed out of court if they sue me since I complied with the written offer of 50% ?
Thanks………

Hi ROB,
It will be totally the lender's discretion as to how much he would settle your debts for. You will have to negotiate with your lender so that they agree for a 50% settlement. You should inform the lender about your hardship. This will help you in convincing him for a lower amount. As far as the lawsuit is concerned, you need to contact an attorney and take his opinion as to whether or not you would be able to win the case.
Take care.
