2nd mortgage question

[joefromky]

We had our house sold under forclosure a few years ago, it had a 2nd mortgage on it which I assume they use the house as collateral.

Im still getting bills for the 2nd mortgage. Since the house was sold is this still a secured debt?

Thanks..

It depends on state law, but 2nd mortage holders may be allowed to pursue a deficiency balance as a general unsecured debt.
