Re: Foreclosure

Based only on what you have said, no.

However, you really must get a lawyer to help you. The foreclosure can be avoided in several ways, and you may be able to save the house, or at least save the value (equity) of the house.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in northern New Jersey. The telephone consultation will be free. I would be happy to help you out.

Re: Foreclosure

The lender cannot automatically levy against other assets simply because of the foreclosure. However, if the lender has a judgment against you, it may have other remedies including the right to levy against bank accounts.

You should discuss your situation with a lawyer in order to protect your rights.
