Pre-foreclosure question.

[chicagoannie]

Out of curiosity, can anyone recommend a good online website that actually contains up to date “pre-foreclosure” and “foreclosure” information that one could view just to keep tabs of their own home or is this something you would have to go down to your city’s courthouse to best find?

The sites that give you actual addresses of the properties (and a lot of other information, like taxes, names of property owner, etc) require payment. Realtytrac will list street names only and I am guessing this is the site you already looked at.

Thank you chicagoannie, I appreciate your input. I hope that you are doing okay, as I have heard of your situation in the news a great deal last year, where the tenants had always paid their rent on time, but the landlord had defaulted on the mortgage, and caused various eviction situations with the tenants. I last heard (in the summer), that if a tenant was in a situation like this, they (the lender) were suppose to make a provision that they could stay in the home for several months (at the government request), before the tenant had to move . . . yet I do not know if this really did happen though.

CCsAreEvil, out of curiosity, had you already received a formal foreclosure notice from your lender or has the sheriff come out to your house already to serve you with the formal foreclosure notice?

No. The only thing showing on the county web site is a "DEED ASSIGNMENT" record. That was done about 2 months ago. I'm starting to get more and more "personal" typed notes (apparently) in the mail just in the past week or so. I wonder why the quick upswing in US mail all of a sudden though?

Thank you CCsAreEvil, as I appreciate the further enlightenment, and it gives me more insight as to what might happen to me.
