[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Forum Board ] [ FAQ ] Courthouse Auction / Unserved Lien Posted by m.a. on October 29, 2001 at 5:22 PM We purchased, rehabbed and have a sales contract on a house we bought at the courthouse foreclosure auction. There is one problem. There was an unserviceable (financed) water treatment system in the house and the company had not been served in the foreclosure. The couple who lost the house gave us the finance papers and basically had been making those particular payments throughout the process. Their current statement said balance due was @ $1300.00. We now have a sales contract on the house and called the finance company to see if they would go 50% or something like that. However they said their figures were more like $4300.00 and would take $2000.00. We called the water treatment company and asked if they could just come and take away the system and release the lien, and they said its basically up to the finance company. I know we are not in the best position in this situation, but does anyone have an idea for us. We could actually close in two days if it weren't for this lien. Also can I demand to know how the finance company came up with their figures if the original owner thought they only owed about $1300.00. And could I just haul the system over to the company and give it to them.....any help is definately appreciated..thanks Follow Ups: Re: Check to see if unserved lien was recorded..
