6. Used the 2 - 28 day adjournments earlier (can we get another 2 -28 with the Sheriff when they receive alias writ ?.?)
I want to be VERY CLEAR in this, so you fully understand this. IF YOUR PREVIOUS SALE WAS
CANCELED, and I mean truly
CANCELED, and not just placed in bankruptcy hold -- then YES, you are entitled to two additional adjournments. If your sale is still on bankruptcy hold, which was lifted then-No. You are screwed.
You can call the Sherrif's Office for your County, and ask about the status of the last sale if you don't know. They are very nice and non-judging. Just try to have your docket number, or the sale number, when you call.
3. No sale or buyers lined up.
Is there even a dollar of equity in this house, as in, is the home worth even $1 more on Zillow, than what is owed on your mortgage payoff? If there is equity... it's worth attempting to sale on your own. You will lose that equity in a sheriff sale, as the 3rd party bidders, will not pay top dollar for the home, assuming they bid on it. The Servicer will just "credit bid" what they are owed, leaving you with $0 in excess proceeds.
If the home is worth for example, $300,000... and your total payoff, is $592,000, than, honestly, delaying the sale, is the only thing I can reccomand, unless the servicer gives you a writedown of the principle balance. It's only worth, even remotely considering paying a underwater mortgage, if the payment is lower than comparable rent, and if it's in between 10 to 15% more than the home is worth. If it's more than that... it's better to walk away.
4. BK13 stopped Sheriff Sale, but stay has been lifted and an alias writ has just been motioned. No new sale date posted as of yet.
Chapter 13 is only worth it, if you are serious about keeping the house, and keeping up with the Plan Payments. It's a LONG, LONG 5 YEARS, and over 90% of people fall off the yellow brick road. You have to take that into consideration. I've seen people do it. But, I only want you to file again if you are serious about keeping the home.
Filing BK over and over, if you are not planning to stay in the home long term, just hurts your credit score, and makes it near impossible for you to rent another home, yet alone buy, and hurts you in other aspects, like buying a car, insurance rates, and getting a credit card.
I was very lucky, to be able to skip out on filing for bankruptcy. My credit score did fall, significantly, while I was in Mortgage Default for several years, as well as allowing a few credit cards to charge off. I also missed two payments on an Auto Loan back in 2008. But, with years and years of on-time payments, I now am in the 790s... which is far better than when I purchased my first home (660s).
7. Please explain mortgage assistance package as I hadn’t heard of this. But I believe we are able to request a mediation that would delay sheriff sale when we motion against the alias writ.
Don't quote me on this entirely, because I can't fully quote the law. Here is what I know though.
In NJ... if your home is scheduled for a foreclosure sale, and you send in the MAP (Mortgage Assistance Packet) or RMA (Request for Mortgage Assistance) in completion, or mostly completed... the servicer must (at least once) cancel the original sale, and adjourn the sale for (30?) or (28) days. This allows them to fully review your finances, and determine if you are eligible for a Loan Modification, or Deed in Leu, and not break the laws in NJ regarding Dual Tracking a homeowner in foreclosure.
Even if you were previously denied a Loan Mod... supposedly, at least once, they have to consider you for a Mod... if you send in one of these packets, after the sale is scheduled. You could almost see it as another adjournment.
I honestly don't know what your true intention is with your home. All I'll say is it's hard to fight a foreclosure, in NJ after the final judgment has been awarded to the lender. If you have an attorney, they could advise on appealing the final judgment, but, really... I would only consider that if you are trying to delay the sale. If your intention is to keep the house, a Loan Mod... may be your best option.
