How can a second mortgage foreclose?

February 22, 2007

Texas Carolina foreclosure

This is an actual comment for a client:


”This is a second mortgage and they are saying it has been foreclosed. They are saying they are going to take my house. My primary mortgage is up to date and they don't know anything about this. I can't get any info from Citibank. No one will help me. I want to fix this and they are saying I will not be able to fix it. ”

The only way the second mortgage can foreclose is if they buy out the first mortgage. If that did not happen then the second probably did not foreclose at all and is only trying to scare you. You could tell for sure by going to the county courthouse or researching the records online to determine if a foreclosure is on file.

I am in a really tough position right now and need some advice. I currently have a first and second mortgage on my home. I can pay the first but not the second (it is at a terrible interest rate) as it costs way too much for me. I read your response to a previous person where you had answered that the only way a 2nd could foreclose was if they purchased the 1st. Let's say the first is not willing to have them "buy them out"...what happens to the 2nd at that time? I have no problem catching up and paying them off once my real estate business picks back up again or even to sell the house and pay them off that way. But I have no where to go right now and simply cannot afford my bills right now. I realize it's a gamble and possibly Countrywide (2nd) may very well attempt to purchase my 1st (Wells Fargo) however I'm just looking at all of my options at this time before it's too far gone. I've contacted Countrywide regarding a Forbearance Agmt and they've not responded to me. It looks pretty grim huh?

The key is if you have any equity. If so then the second will probably buy the first out. There is no way to tell for sure... that has just been our experience.

I actually hold a 2nd mortgage on some property that I sold at 0% interest rate. The borrowors had 180 to secure refinancing and if they could not then they were to pay me monthly payments. However such time has went by that the 180 days has passed and now they have never started the monthly payments (4 months behind) what can I do? the mortgage is in the court house and I am unsure if they are even keeping up the 1st mortgage?

Our mortgage was sold to American Servicing Company and due to a job loss moving to a new city; we requested a loan modification and month after month they kept sending the financial packet; they never said we were denied or anything; Question: Can a law suit be filed for failure to comply with services that they have implied? We invested $21000.00 in our home for a down payment... we need suggestions..

This is the same statement because everything stills holds true. I will continue to seen this letter until these repairs are professionally completed.
It has been quite a while since the purchase and the required repairs from the city’s inspection forms has not been started. These things along with others are hindering me from enjoying my new home. The home was suppose to be air conditioned it is not. I informed you of this problem and you stated for me to find someone to repair it and you would pay for the expenses. I called you with the quote for the repair of this feature it still goes unrepaired. The air conditioning feature was a false statement made by you, Remax and the appraiser. This false feature increased the value of the home. I spoke to the next door neighbor and was informed the air conditioner has not worked in 10years or more. This letter is another attempt to inform you of the repairs that you said you would pay a professional company to complete. I gave you several companies to do the repairs, but you didn’t respond. I understand you are going through a financial hardship so is everyone in this economy, but still I was sold a home with several thousand dollars needed in repairs that you were required to pay a professional to complete. I feel the home was not worth it’s price because of the several false statements that were made to me. You stated that the repairs would be professionally done. I feel once the mortgage company paid you the lump sum of monies your commitment to pay a professional for the repairs ceased. This is unfair to a new home buyer. You suggested to take the repairs off the price of the home. I am willing to do this seeing how you are not financially able to pay for the repairs.

What type of an asset does the bank have if they foreclosed on the second mortgage only and have not bought out the first? Can they market the property if they have a sheriffs title for a second postion?

i am close to being 1 month late in my citimortgage payment so i sent out a workable solutions packet and everyone there tells me that it wont lower my 10.9 % fixed interest rate. The only way would be to refinance the 2 mortgages together. would JP Morgan Chase let Citimortgage buy them out? I owe more on JP Morgan Chase than Citimortgage . My total loan amount is 120,000. I dont want citimortgage foreclose on my house. If my interest rate was lower i could do it and they wont help me,by the way i did certified letter for my workable solutions to citimortgage so they cant say they never recieved the forms. Any advice please.

have a 1 million mortgage with Wells fargo, 250 second with citigroup. House apprasied now at 890,000. Both loans interest only and I cant afford the payments. Can I convinve Citi that has no equity position at all to buy out the first mortgage at a negotiated reduced principle then refi the whole property the end result being a lower principle. Citi would recoup some of its position. Has this bee done?

I have a private mortgage through private investors, we purchased in 2006 for $598k and now the property is worth $350k, we owe the 1st 358k and we have a 2nd etc... we can afford the 1st but not the 2nd on down. What if we only pay the 1st and not the subordinates, can they forclose if there is no equity?

My house in Nevada was foreclosed/sold by the primary lender on Sept 28, 2008 but the my 2nd mortgage lender keep sending me the collection letter. I understand that with the Nevada law in foreclosure that the 2nd lender can not run after me anymore after 90 days. Is that correct? What is my obligation with the 2nd lender

My home in Montana was foreclosed on in 2007. I had a second mortgage with Beneficial (foolishly kept this one up to date) and tried to keep it up to date after I lost the home. I about the first of the year (2009) I was no longer able to make the payments, 21% interest. They are now calling and sending letters. Wanting money that I don't have. What recourse do I have and what can the company do?

Do we have to pay for it?

Iam thinking about stop paying on the 2nd which Citi Mortage holds, not because I can not afford to pay it but because they mismanage my account each month. I spend in extra money each month with instruction to be applied to prinicpal but they continue to apply this extra amount to an extra regular payment. this has cost me alot of money. I called this company on a weekly bases and I am getting tired of dealing with them.

I had an 80/20 purchase loan on my former California condo. I couldn't afford either loan and the 80 loan went into foreclosure as of Jan 08 and closed in June 08. The 20 loan never entered into foreclosure. This was an origainal purchase loan and my understanding was that both mortgages would have been foreclosed on with no payment. The same loan company had both loans. I had to file bankruptcy to take care of the 20 loan, but i did not get discharged till August 09. I know its quite late to complain about the 20 loan not foreclosing, but I'm concerned now about my credit report. Was the 20 loan supose to be taken care of along with the first? If so, is there a way to correct the 14 extra months of late payments on my credit report?

I have a mortgage with chase. i also have a second with citifinancial. They both are in my name alone & not in my wife's. Since then we have got divorced in the divorce agreement she agreed to pay for the 1st and me the 2nd. they both are still in my name, she hasnt refinanced it in hers. She is current with the 1st and i've got behind in the 2nd. She lives in the house & i havent in 3 years. Can Citi foreclose on the house and make my ex & my children move. What are my legal rights.
