The current owners took her to court where the judge told the lady she has lost the house and awarded for the current tenant.

Our courthouse is only about 10 minutes from my house and they bundle them up into a single hour on Monday mornings so it seemed like a really good investment of an hour in our education.It seems that 90% of the time, the tenants don't show up and immediate possession is awarded back to the landlord who may then file for a sheriff's eviction that will typically happen within a week or so.In the other 10%, the judge asked if the tenant agreed that they were behind on payments.  90% of those agreed that they were behind. 

BTW, I was awarded legal fees, which I was allowed to deduct from the payoff amount.In more usual circumstances a letter from an attorney to the note holder will usually do the trick.  

We have won awards and have been selected to speak on this topics by groups all over the country.
