Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Re: Foreclosure

You probably should have sent the entire amount past due plus the current month's paymnet in order to avoid foreclosure. (No, it is not true. If it was, EVERYONE would deliberately go 3 months past due, then send in one payment and expect the house to be declared paid in full.)

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

This is absolutely not true. Lenders have the right for you to reject any payment that is for less than the full amount that is owed at the time.

Where did you hear this gem? Was it at your local barbershop or the local tavern?

I would strongly suggest that you obtain any future legal advice from a lawyer who is qualified to answer your questions.
