Question : How can I find out about my home that supposedly went into foreclosure?
I have been unable to locate any documents regaurding a home of mine that supposedly went into foreclosure.I had a realestate person aquire me some documents that stated that the loan was paid off before foreclosure had begun. How can I find out who paid off this loan? And why are there no documents stating that it was in the foreclosure stages. I was told to get out of this home, by someone whome I thought was the bank. I believe that in this situation my ex husband was given this house because of some watts credit thing.

This is E-A-S-Y!!! You'll love it, it's soeasy!In the US, any "change of title" and any"attachments/leins" placed on a title are held onrecord at your local county/parish courthouse. This is public information and free to access. You simply need to go to the Office of Records andDeeds at your county and look up the specificproperty by address.I have found that countyofficials are very helpful in looking upinformation about specific properties. Show upwith the specific address of the property andexplain the situation and what you are lookingfor. Remember that when you are talking to thecounty staff, they aren't really interested inyour complaints (at least, mostly). They have ajob to do and that is to maintain those records.It is your right as a citizen to view thoserecords and most are happy to assist with lookingup those records, but they aren't in the businessof advice.Regardless of what is written on thedocument, be sure to thank them for their time andsupport. They'll be helpful for you in thefuture.Once you have that information and you wantto contest it, that becomes a legal matter and youshould probably speak to an attorney for furtherassistance.
