Re: offer to pay in full before lawsuit was ignored
An offer to "pay in full" may not have been enough in a real estate situation where a buyer has the right to compel actual performance of the contract. But you don't provide enough facts to say what the defenses ought to be. If you are a party to this situation, you need to discuss the real facts of this case with a real live lawyer ASAP.
