Q: If my delinquent taxes were sold and I pay my new upcoming taxes, what happens next? Will I get more time to catch up?
A:
If your delinquent taxes were sold and you pay your upcoming taxes, it is possible that you may still owe the delinquent taxes plus any additional fees and interest that may have accrued. In this case, you should contact the entity that purchased the delinquent taxes to find out what the remaining balance is and what payment options are available to you.
In some cases, the purchaser of the delinquent taxes may be willing to work out a payment plan or negotiate a settlement with you to resolve the outstanding debt. However, it is important to act quickly to address the issue and work out a payment plan, as failure to do so may result in additional penalties and interest, as well as potential foreclosure or other collection action.
It is possible that the purchaser of the delinquent taxes may give you more time to catch up on the payments, depending on the specific circumstances and their policies. However, this is not guaranteed, and it is important to work out a payment plan or settlement as soon as possible to avoid further financial consequences.
You may want to consult with a tax attorney or accountant who has experience with delinquent tax issues to help you navigate the process and explore your options for resolving the outstanding debt.
