My husband had a foreclosure several years ago. It was sold. There was a tax bill sent to us when it was sold. We never recieved information about a judgement. Fast forward 5 years later - we rebuilt our credit, got his scores up over 750 (thanks, myfico forums!) and bought another house!
Here's the sticky part... the closing attorney called us before the closing to tell us that we could not sell or refinance our new house because there is a $10K judgement against us for the old house. WHAT? It does not show up on his credit. I did find it in public records, but I was not about to poke the bear during closing and call anyone about it. However, I was wondering if there is any recourse or anywhere I can find out information about it if we never got any notice... and we were able to buy another house! This does NOT make any sense to us.
Can you help guide us? Thanks!
