East Brunswick, NJ asked in Foreclosure for New Jersey

Q: Can I sue Pacific Union bank for foreclosure which happened two years ago. And they auctioned our house.

Two years ago, our house for foreclosed but it was within 8 months or so and auctioned off, before that they increased our mortgage payment by nearly $700 and from the initial payment agreed on. This put our family in great financial distress, eventually they auctioned off to a price, less than what they were willing for a short sale, which did not make sense.

A: From what you stated, there is no basis for you to file a lawsuit against the lender. In addition, if you file a frivolous lawsuit in NJ, you can be held liable to the other party for legal fees and expenses.
