In April 1998 we entered into a Contract For Deed on 76 acres. All went well until a year later when they were to have converted this over to a Warranty Deed W/Vendor's Lien of which they never did. I tried to get a response and got none. We were injured and became Disabled. We fell behind on payments & filed Chap. 13 bankruptcy. We were going to sell the land to a man who was going to pay it off and give us 20 acres free and clear to live on plus pay us on occassion as care takers and for upkeep. The land co. drug their feet taking almost 3 mos. to get a payoff & we lost the sale due to them. The potential buyer cured a default per their own instruction to prevent them from obtaining a lift of the stay, but they went on and obtained this anyway. Then we found the contract they submitted to the bankruptcy judge had been altered. We raised the matter and no one cared saying the judge would not care. We again defaulted in payments and again had a buyer, this time they foreclosed today in fact. How can they not meet the original contract obligations thereby defaulting well before us, we do back flips to get the land paid off to them and they throw up road blocks preventing us from selling, then alter the contract to a federal bankruptcy judge who ruled against us on an altered contract. Can they pick and choose which contract they wish to enforce when they are not abiding by either one themselves? They have failed to date to provide a Annual Accounting Statement for 2004. The penalties is $250/day for each day after 1/31/05 we do not get this from them, which is way more than we owe them plus reasonable Atty. fees. How can they do this? How can one person be forced to abide by what ever contract and the other not? How does one get an Attorney to take on such a case? Can they evict us with no notice?
