A: It is possible that an attorney could file a motion to reconsider and set aside the sale. That is not very likely particularly with the short period of time you have until the sale occurs. You probably need to hire an attorney who is familiar with bankruptcy laws. You may be able to file bankruptcy to stop the sale, however, you will have to have sufficient income to make payments which may be larger than the original mortgage payment.

You need to meet with an attorney to determine if you can stop the foreclosure sale and save the property.
