Q: Need Clarification : California Foreclosure Process In Ref Notice of Default & Sale.
For a Property in California:
Lender Filed Notice of Default in 2010
Lender filed Notice of Sale in 2010. Sale Postponed
Borrrower worked out with bank for some time. Lender Servicer changed names in 2013
Successful Loan Mod completed in 2013, Borrower made payments for 24 months.
Lender did not file recission of default at that time
In 2016 Borrower fell behind in payments . Lender filed Notice of Default (again) in Feb 2016
In April 2016 Lender filed Recession of default but put small note that this recession of default is specifically for the default filed in 2009 (and not Feb 2016). Lender convinces Borrower on phone calls numerous that property is not in foreclsoure .
Out of the Blue, In August, Lender files Notice of Sale within 30 days.
Question: How is this allowed ? Does not the notice of recission of default filed in April 2016 negate the notice of default filed in Feb 2016 irrespective of fine print?
A: Was a new Notice of Default timely filed for this 2016 foreclosure? That would be required. The rescission of default for the prior N.O.D. may be valid.
