Foreclosure - Should I find out about previous foreclosure?


Expert: Steele V. Propp - 11/6/2009

Question
About 4 years ago, I owned a home that went into foreclosure. At the time, I didn't really talk with my lender as I was ignorant and fearful of their calls. I simply moved out and ignored them.

I had PMI on the loan. Since this was several years ago, is it safe to assume I will have no further responsibility? This happened about a year before the real estate market took a tumble.

Answer
I am not an attorney and this is partly a legal question.  

Of course, the more time that goes by, the better for you.  It is my understanding that the ability to file for a judgement is tied to the statute of limitations.  You might want to check to see what that is in your state in this type of situation.  

I have seen 2 and 3 year limits on various kinds of claims.  I would check with an attorney that specializes in foreclosure work.
