Personal Property

[jbrazell]

What is the name of your state? South Carolina

My house was sold recently in a foreclosure sale, somehow the mortgage company found a way around notifying me about it, I kept sending checks they were nto cashed and I was not paying attention as I should have, but I know it is too late for the sale to be reversed, so I contacted the buyer to attempt to buy back the home, or to find out when he wanted me out by, no response though I know he received the messages I sent.

I went by the other day and the locks are changed, my personal property is still inside, I had removed most of it, only a few things left, stove, portable apartment style diswasher, area rugs and curtains. I had left him messages detailing what was left in the house, but he never responded but did forward those messages to someone else to read.

What legal recourse do I have to recover my property or compensation for its loss?

I had alos just installed a new window unit A/C, since the house had been broken into and the old one was stolen, but I realize, even though the house was under foreclosure at the time, the A/C became a fixture when I attached it.

**A: next time remove the stuff earlier. Too late.

That seems to jive with all else I have learned about South Carolina's property laws, when in doubt, you are screwed. I found out they were not required to notify me about anything along the way and we have no right of redemption in this state.

That is what happens when you are not proactive.

Unfortunatly proactive required foreknowledge. I had alot going on and did not check to make sure checks were clearning as I should, my notice that the house had been sold was a letter on the front door by the buyer, I took the day to contact the Master of Equity to confirm the sale, contacted the new owner notifying him that I had removed most of my property, but needed a day or 2 to remove the rest of the property, the next day when I went by the locks were changed.

I guess I will just have to chalk it up to one more reason never to borrow money again.
