Q: Home forfiture land contract sellers did a forfeiture the judge granted it to them because he wasn't told that the buyer
Paid the seller 6 thousand dollars within the 90 days the information was held from the judge that it was paid and he granted a forfiture . The seller contacted the buyer and said he wanted to be done and he wanted 20,500.00 to keep the home pay off the contract .so we signed agreement to do so.the judge was not informed that the buyer paid the money what can I do
A: First, if the land contract seller's stated balance of the amount due is not accurate in their complaint, then you should have raised the discrepancy at the time of the hearing. The time to do this is not after the judgment is entered. However, while you may be able to go back to the court and set aside the judgment BEFORE the 90 day redemption period expires, it is highly unlikely that you can set aside any judgment after the 90 days run. I hope this helps.
