Facebook Used to Serve Lien Notice!?!

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Capstone Washington Real Estate, LLC

A court in Australia recently approved the use of Facebook to notify a couple they lost their home after defaulting on a loan. Apparently several attempts to contact the couple in person and via email. In the past, Australian courts have permitted the use of emails and text messages when more traditional methods have failed. As far as I know, nothing like this has been done here in the US. It will be interesting to see if that changes as social networking sites, and foreclosures, gain in popularity. That's one "super-poke" I wouldn't want to see on MY profile!
