Contesting a Charlottesville Foreclosure, or any foreclosure for that matter
Contesting a Charlottesville Foreclosure, or any foreclosure for that matter
Because the right of redemption is an equitable right, foreclosure is an action in equity. To keep the right of redemption, the debtor can ask an equity court for an injunction. If repossession is imminent the debtor must seek a temporary restraining order. However, the debtor may have to post a bond in the amount of the debt. This protects the creditor if the attempt to stop foreclosure is simply an attempt to escape the debt.
A debtor may also challenge the validity of the debt in a claim against the bank to stop the foreclosure and sue for damages. In a foreclosure proceeding, the lender bears the burden of proving that there was a valid debt. There is case law to support the debtor's case: First National Bank of Montgomery vs. Jerome Daly, 1969, in the Justice Court State of Minnesota the Judge ruled in favor of the debtor on December 9, 1968: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: 1.That the Plaintiff is not entitled to recover the possession of Lot 19, Fairview Beach, Scott County, Minnesota according to the Plat thereof on file in the Register of Deeds office. 2.That because of failure of a lawful consideration the Note and Mortgage dated May 8, 1964 are null and void. 3.That the Sheriff’s sale of the above described premises held on June 26, 1967 is null and void, of no effect.That because of failure of a lawful consideration the Note and Mortgage dated May 8, 1964 are null and void.
