2nd mortg foreclosed while negotiatiing short sale

Posted on: 13th Jun, 2008 01:38 pm
Hello all,

I have been negotiating a short sale with 2 lenders the 1st one is ready to give me an approval, I just call the 2nd and they are telling me that they forecloused yesterday. I asked who is in charge of the property they said that nobody that they closed and charge off the acct.
Can you please tell me what can i do next, i'm very confuse.

Thanks.

Hi SAIR.

Welcome to the forum.

The second lender has charged off the dent but that doesn't mean that he has forgiven the debt. You still need to pay the debt. So try to pay it. Otherwise it will have a negative effect on your credit. The lender can even sell it to the collection agencies.

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best of luck,
Larry

sair, it would appear you need to go further into the personnel of that second mortgage lender to find someone to speak with who knows how to answer your questions.

you can't sell the house without a release of the second lien, so it's imperative that you find out how to go about satisfying those people, if they'll be satisfied at all. of course, if they've charged off your loan, it appears they recognize the likelihood they'll never get their money back.

nevertheless, you need to speak with someone to ensure you'll be able to get a release for recording at the time of your sale.

keep pressing the issue - you need to do this.

Hi Sair,

George is right you need to press the issue with you second lender. If they have already given up on the debt that should work to you advantage in negotiating your short sale.

Get the agreed upon price from your first lender. Then you can sell the property after you agree to pay the second lender what you are able to from the proceeds of the sale of your home. Since second lender is writing off your loan they did not anticipate receiving payment on the loan. This should work to your benefit when you tell them that you will be able to pay them some of the money you owe them.

Like George said you need to speak with the right person in the short sale department and inform them that you are in the process of completing a short sale with your first lender.

Hi Sair,

I'm surprised that the second lender could foreclose the house without the first lender's objection. The second loan has a subordinate position compared to the first. So, obviously if the second forecloses, he should pay off the first loan. But I don't think the lender did so? isn't it?

Even if the second has declared foreclosure, there is still some time prior to the sale, during which you can talk to the lender and ask him as to whether he'll pay off the first; then call up the first and explain the entire situation.

Again, you've mentioned that the second lender has issued a charge-off. So, is it that they have declared foreclosure ands finding that you couldn't pay, they charged-off the account. Well, you need to talk to the right person in the second lender's company to find out what exactly is the scenario.

Regards,

Jessica

Hi Angel,

I can understand how stressed you are. What I can understand from your question is that your original lender must have charged off of your loan. This means that your original lender is no more interested in collecting the loans. Rather they have sold it off to a collection agency. Thus, the collection agency is after you for collecting the debts. Its better if you can pay the loans. If not, consult the collection agency.

Thanks,

Jerry
