What happens if I continue to reside in the house after the sale?
If you do not make up your payments or file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the lender will proceed with the Trustee’s Sale as scheduled. You may still have some options after the house is sold. Recognize that the new owner has the right to refuse your cooperation.
Make Arrangements to Move
The home belongs to the lender (if the lender “bought it back”) or the individual or company who purchased it at the Trustee’s Sale after the sale. The new owner has the right to have you vacate the property so that they can use it.

I can’t say enough good things about Diane. The way she handled my not typical circumstances was amazing. I was very nervous to start the bankruptcy process but Diane just has a very comforting way of explaining the whole process. My only regret is that I didn’t find Diane sooner. If you find yourself in a financial situation that you can’t correct on your own, please Call Diane Drain as soon as possible.
