Re: Loan default

The bank absolutely has to give you notice of default and its foreclosure. Sending an auctioneer there is not proper notice. You should check the terms of your loan documents. I suspect the bank was foolish not to notify you by registered mail. They may claim they notified your business partner. I would go into the Chancery Court for your county, file suit against the bank, and ask the Chancellor for a temporary restraining order barring the foreclosure sale of property.
