The second mortgage is trying to foreclose
Missouri foreclosure
This is an actual comment from a client:
"The holder of the 2nd Mortgage is foreclosing. I recieved a letter from thier attorney stating such on 02/05/2007. Foreclosure will begin on 02/12/2007. I am in the military and can not respond in time."
most homeowners do not understand that the second mortgage can for close. For the second mortgage to foreclose they first must bind the first mortgage out. After that is done they can continue with the foreclosure in the normal matter but you will owe them both the first and second mortgage amounts.
Typically the reason a second mortgage will foreclose on a home is if there is a substantial amount of equity in the house. A lot of times they mistakenly do a drive-by appraisal where that appraised amount is vastly overstated. If they can be convinced that the equity in the house is just not there they will forgo the foreclosure. If they do not foreclose they will usually just write the loan off as a bad debt and close the file. However, they will still I lien on a house and if you ever try to sell it you will have to deal with them at that point.

Contact the first Mortgage holder as well, find out if they still have the note.
Also, contact your county Court. They should have paperwork on a foreclosure.
