Post: 15 year old judgement

Posted by Donna on 1/31/07
This is my story! I lost my house in 1991 under power of sale to Central guaranty trust in which 36,000 was still oweing. I sighned a promissary note agreeing to pay 10,000 in which I stopped paying due to lack of employment. The trust company went bankrupt and I thought I was in the clear considering I lost 50,000 in the house anyways after they undersold it. I had heard nothing over the years even when I had bought and sold my second house. I was sitting at my lawyers office ready to close the deal on yet another buy and resale of my third house, when all of a sudden a writ of execution came up on my name for the original judgement in 1991. The person had purchased it for 2.00 and is wanting to collect with interest over the years for the sum of 77,000. Because I am in the posistion of trying to close the real estate deals I am forced to settle to pay her 5,000 cash and pay her 40'000 in a second mortgage. How in the hell can this be legal? If I had of known this prior I would have went bankrupt along time ago when I had nothing! Anyone out there with any help or information to get me out of this would be greatly appreciated!!!
