Question: My mortgage company offered to accept the past due
payments on my account in the
foreclosure process in exchange for stopping the foreclosure proceedings. Is
the mortgage company obligated to stop the foreclosure by accepting the payment?
I am not the mortgage holder but I am in the house with a filed quit claim deed
in my name. Since I am not the mortgage holder I can't get anything in writing
legally from the mortgage company stating their terms to me. I have had a consultation with a real estate
attorney, who answered some questions for me.
Response: That's right. As long as the bank receives its
payment, they will keep on taking it. They will reinstate the loan, the payments
will go back to their original terms and the
foreclosure proceedings will be stopped. You can't get anything in writing
because you are not the borrower. You would have to assume the loan to make it
in your name and to have any new terms stated in writing. But if you are not
trying to get a
loan modification on your mortgage and just trying to resume to making
payments, then you can just send the check to reinstate it and then continue
making monthly mortgage payments. As long as you do, the bank will not bother
you. As soon as you stop, again, the borrower, who is the person financially
obligated under the note will end up in
foreclosure, thus, risking losing the home that you own.
