A: I am not a Bankruptcy Lawyer, and what you describe going on does not sound like it has to do with Bankruptcy. It sounds like you have a real estate problem, and the other side has asked for Arbitration. It appears that you are in Philadelphia, while I am in California. So, the law is different for each state. I also don't know what "paperwork" you received. It sounds more like a foreclosure proceeding that is going on. At any rate, I suggest you contact a lawyer near you ASAP to prevent any more actions, and to explain to you the Arbitration procedure. That's the best I can do. Good Luck.
A: It is uncle that the papers you received are for as well as why you re arbitrating if the house is set to sell in seven days.
