It is listed. It has been for about 8 weeks

That's a fabulous idea!

One of the main questions people are asking is "where the heck is the septic system?" And because the addition we were adding on wasn't complete, they're also asking about the structure.

Seriously.. I haven't stepped foot in the place in well over a year.. already purchased another house and am trying to move on. I have two young kids to raise.. (who I darn near lost at birth and were in the hospital so long that I lost my job and half our income). I just want these people to leave us alone! I'm tempted to shut phone service off completely until after the house sells, except I'm afraid someone will knock on my door next.

The number is not the same. In fact it's been changed twice since then.

We moved out of the house the week it was court ordered.. over a year ago. (it was basically stolen from us.. we had filed for bankruptcy, paid our lawyer to file for homestead so we could keep the house which we had no problem paying for, and the lawyer failed to file the paperwork in the right order, thus there was an objection from the trustee and we lost the house).

I had received a power bill (forwarded from the house) about 6 months ago and called the town (who runs the power, water, city clerk..) to shut off power. I never gave them our phone number so they must have gotten it off of caller ID. The house failed to sell at auction and was put on the market about 8 weeks ago. Since day 1 we've had at least 1 call per day. Once from the darn home inspection company.

So we've recently purchased another home (a much better home, IMHO), and moved into it about 5 weeks ago. We changed our number once more and the darn people have found us yet again. We're not even in the same part of the state! I have no idea how they keep getting our number.

I do realize that this is an investment forum and most of you are buyers/sellers.. but I figured who better to ask than you guys, right?

Our home (of 25 years) was foreclosed on 3 months ago. Since then we've gotten DAILY phone calls from potential buyers wanting info on the property (like where the septic is located and structual questions). Today we received yet another call and I asked the man where he got our private phone number. And he said the TOWN gave it to him. I explained that we hadn't lived in the house for over a year and I didn't know what kind of shape the house is in now or what the bank had done to it since we left.. and I'd appreciate if he didn't call back.

Is anyone else having this type of problem?? I want this whole thing behind us and these people just won't let us!

And WTF is the town giving them our number?? Quite honestly I have no idea how they got it except that when I called to turn off the power they must have gotten off caller-id.

*sigh*
