Since the property was sold at public auction you no longer have any ownership interest in the property and therefore no obligations with respect to same. However, in the event a deficiency resulted from the price paid at auction being less than the amount of the loan or if the lender bought the property at the public auction and later sells same for a loss, the lender may have the right to pursue a deficiency judgment against you.

Did you have title? Without reading your contract, closing papers and obtaining more information, no one can answer properly.
