Re: delay of sale forclosure

The demand needs to be filed in the court in which the foreclosure case was filed. All the delay of sale will do is delay the time between when the decree is entered and the date of the Sheriff's sale. It will not delay entry of a judgment against you. You might want an attorney to go over your closing documents, just in case the lender or closing agent did not do everything correctly.
