Wayne County foreclosure sales resume on a ‘limited basis’

By Minehaha Forman | 03.02.09 | 7:13 pm

Foreclosure sales in Wayne County will resume but on a much more “limited basis”, according to John Roach, spokesperson for Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans.

But all homes up for foreclosure sales will not go though. “Only in the cases where single family homes or for residential the lender has to provide us with an affidavit that says either that there were no TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) monies involved in that mortgage, or, if there were TARP monies involved, that the homeowner have been availed a process to modify their mortgage,” Roach told Michigan Messenger. He added that all commercial and industrial foreclosure sales will go forward as usual.

However, as of Monday afternoon there were only about 20 properties that met the criteria for a foreclosure sale this week. “It’s very small number that are going to sale at this point,” Roach said. He said 20 foreclosure sales in a week in Wayne County was a “far cry” from the 300-400 that come up for sheriff sales each week in Wayne County.

    Ha, ha, ha, ha! The Court of Appeals is going to jam this up Evans' **s! What a pompous grandstanding fool. Massive damage award coming to mortgage lenders against Wayne County for malfeasance of office and abuse of process. Taxpayers, get ready to pay. Warren, how's that mayoral campaign goin for ya! A “sheriff” with no respect for the law.
    Are you still collecting $2 per call for every call out from the Wayne County jail? That's a pretty sweet deal. Maybe if the Banks would only agree to pay you a percentage on the foreclosures, we'd get that backlog cleared up in a jiffy!
    Oh, and thanks for finally paying your delinquent taxes on your HORSE FARM? (Also recently paying back-taxes was Wayne County Sheriff and mayoral hopeful Warren Evans, who paid $11,656 in delinquent summer taxes on a horse farm he owns in rural Washtenaw County, Mich. The newspaper said property tax records show Evans bought the 20-acre farm in 2001 for $590,000. ) http://www.zibb.com/article/4636339/Tax+issues+…

    Interesting how these statements can be published. There are 'victims' of foreclosure all over the place.. I say victims, because the mortgage companies are telling the homeowners there is nothing they can do for them. They aren't willing to work out a different payment for a limited period of time. So the lender has to prove the TARP monies. I wonder how many of those affidavits are false, I know for a fact that there are some. ONE AT LEAST!!!
