North Carolina Attorney General, Roy Cooper, is asking 14 lenders to suspend foreclosures in North Carolina. This suspension will remain until the lenders can show they've complied with the law in their foreclosure process. The action arose from concerns that documents and affidavits were signed without proper verification of the information they contain, and in some cases, from concerns about the notarization of the documents. Spokeswoman Noelle Talley said that Cooper is "especially concerned that if foreclosure affidavits are being signed without proper review, then some North Carolina homeowners may not be getting a good-faith shot at loan modifications."

I am so nervous on the halting & delaying of foreclosured, bank owned homes currently, since this only prolongs our foreclosure crisis going on. I have a customer right now, that needed to move in quickly, only to be told it could be approx another 2 months until permission, clear to close, comes from the foreclosure process now. Then another title company told me that they had been informed that it could take up to 6 months now for a closing. Hopefully, that was an exageration.
Stephanie and Carla...I am not sure this whole process is beneficial to any buyers. It should be so cut and dried. if you make your payments you get to stay in the home...if not, someone else gets to buy it. Now it has been compromised trying to protect a few (who do need protected) but they are throwing all deals under the bus for the sake of a few. It is going to be a hard and rocky ride and buyers are going to have to be very patient and be ready to find a different home.
This was discussed at our staff meeting yesterday. This is not good news for sure.
Thanks for your post.
