Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Notice Of sheriff Sale

Various facts are missing from your posting. There can be no foreclosure from an unsecured debt. The credit company first had to get a judgment and then could get an order to enforce their judgment. A portion of any equity you have in the home is protected by the homestead laws [about $85,000]. Did you owe the credit card debt; did you fight it in court or let your default be taken? Default judgments can be set aside.

Re: Notice Of sheriff Sale

If there is already a notice of Sheriff's sale, that means there is a court civil judgment against you. If you allowed it by default, you'll have to file a timely motion to set it aside, if you have valid basis to do so, and then fight the case like it should have been in the beginning. If you did fight it and lost, then you could appeal, but that is extremely costly. The simple and quick way to stop the sale is to pay the debt/judgment. It might be cheaper than the legal fees and costs to fight it. It may be possible to negotiate a discount or a payment plan. If you're serious about hiring counsel to do these things, feel free to contact me.
