Second Lien on a First Lien Foreclosure

[Anh N.]

Hi,

I'm the second lien holder on a property that is being foreclosed on by the first lien holder.  My loan is not getting paid either.  I believe the property has equity above both loan amounts.  I want to contact the first lien holder and pay the outstanding balance and start my own foreclosure to make sure my position is protected.  I called the trustee company and they won't give me any info on the account unless I get authorization from the borrower.  Is there someone else I should be contacting at the bank to pay the outstanding amount?  It's less than $15K.  Thanks!
