Bankruptcy Scams!! :(
Almost two years ago I owner carried a 4/2 house to a person. They paid a couple of times then stopped. I finally have to hire someone to start foreclosure. The day before the foreclosure she filled bankruptcy. I had to hire a lawyer that knows bankruptcy. So as part of the bankruptcy plan she started making payments, but not any toward the missed payments. Then she stopped making payments again. The lady's bankruptcy case was dismissed. I had to start all over again with the foreclosure. I had to pay a lawyer more money to do a foreclosure. Now today it was set to be foreclosed and my lawyer sends me an email saying the lady filed bankruptcy. I said, " What"? she already filed bankruptcy and it was dismissed." He wrote back that she could file bankruptcy as many times as she wants.
Folks,
This house has a underlining note on it and I am providing free living for this lady. I have a wife and 4 children. This lady is living in a bigger house than I am. I am paying more for her fee living than I am paying for where I live.
Is it so that she can keep living there and filling bankruptcy after bankruptcy?

She obviously intended to perpetrate a fraud when she signed the original owner financing paperwork. Get your attorney to file a Fraud suit against her...criminally and civilly. That's felony fraud.
