Legal Question
I just want to scream!!!!
My house is in the process of being foreclosed. I called one of those companies(vultures) that claim they can buy your house in 3 days. Long story short, after I agreed to a 10K payout for a house worth 190K I got to the lawyer's office to close and was advised that I was only getting 3k. A contract was already signed but they needed a power of attorney because my husbands name is on the title. He refused. And after they contacted him, he finally agreed, however, I found someone else to purchase the property for 149K. I contacted my soon to be ex and advised him not to sign any papers and advised him of the new potential buyer. So he didn't sign anything. After advising the vultures we no longer wanted to do business with them, a huge argument took place. Now the vultures who wants to purchase the property and give me a measly 3K are threatening lawsuit and to place a lean on the property. Can they do that? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
