We called first thing Friday morning and talked to the attorneys office that sent the notice. She told me that it was a form letter and foreclosure proceedings will not be started right away; she didn't even know someone put that in the letter and she's the one that actually handles the whole thing.
She looked into our information and sees at some point in the past few months (she wouldn't tell us when), a huge tax payment was made, but somehow it was shorted. She also saw we didn't own the house at the time. Her big declaration was the title company somehow did shoddy work. She made the appropriate notes on our file. We did still send a letter, even though she said it was necessary. She also told us exactly what we needed to say to our title company regarding our title insurance. She also told us to go to the tax office (do not call or send a letter) and give them all the information. I'm way over simplifying this conversation, but it's the jist.
Anyhow, we went to the tax office and they made the appropriate notes to our file. Unfortunately, the person who originally handles the payments for the unpaid taxes (turns out it was the MUD taxes that weren't paid) doesn't work on Fridays. That whole darn office is closed on Fridays. So, we need to call and get them to make the appropriate notes on the file to this specific tax record; the other is just a general record. MUD taxes are handled differently for some reason. I never knew that since we write the check to the same person, even if we do receive two bills.
We called and left several messages for the person we need to talk to at the title company regarding our title insurance. We called every hour. We kept being told she was in meetings. We left several messages. Around lunch time, we reached her voicemail v. a live person, where we got an out-of-office for the day message. She may be blowing it off (earlier), or she may have been out-of-office for meetings. Either way is a possibility.
So anyhow, we just need to get on it first thing Monday. I'm hoping it is all going to work out easily enough though.
And all the stuff we need for the new baby (crib, clothes) that is on the way, since I gave everything way before moving and finding out about this little surprise.
