The Tri shows a longer history of payments, judgements, court filings, prior address, inquiries and so forth.I doubt that Equifax in person told you verbally or in writing that Sofi was using old data.

You and your wife are obviously educated, so being able to trust your own judgement and plan is vital. 

Accept that and don't let it color your judgement of the business case. 

After you win you send a copy of the judgement to them, again certified and ask them to pay.

They all said similar dialogue that from experience going after tenants is a dead end and judgement may not get collected. 

I'm not happy since I told the agent two weeks ago to do so with a copy of our court judgement. 

Once it is all said and done we receive a judgement, which is equivalent to a deed for other states.

It sounds like that is where title is today, it is not in the decedent, dead people can't own property.If the estate has been probated and an attorney was used, I would be surprised if that wasn't explained to the heirs.If your brother-in-law is an heir and he has judgements that would attach to any real property he owns, it quite possible the judgments have already attached, and any grantee would be taking title subject to them.As Tom Gimer intimated, you probably need the advice of a good real estate attorney licensed in the state where the property is.

Only if 1) the seller has a licensed servicing company service it or 2) you default, they sue you, and get a judgement against you. 

I know after the eviction is approved they have another 5 days to vacate the property, but I'm concerned they'll trash the place after the judgement, and curious to see if I can get them out same day as the court hearing
