Thanks we have already got an attorney. Something isn't right somewhere. The bank probably shouldhave checked that the houses were under contracts before they used them as collateral. Ours is registered in the tax office where we have paid properety tax for 12 years and got homeowners exemption. He took our payments and saved his house from foreclosure by one day.

Owner financing was pretty much made illegal with the passing on July 30. 2010 of the S.A.F.E. act. In order for an owner to be able to offer financing they have to be licensed, but requirements vary depending on the State and the legislation they passed in order to comply with the S.A.F.E. act.

You should have a word with you attorney, gbarnett. The attorney will guide you what you should do in this matter.

Welcome jill,

As far as I know, unless the payments are made in full, you shouldn't give away your property deed.

What if we were never given a contract to sign but were given monthly statements that show the monthly house payment subtracted from the previous total owed with the new current balance owed? I have been paying for some time now and only owe $1000 but now the sellers are getting really hard to deal with. One of them showed up at our door drunk making threats of making us move but my payments are always made before the date shown due on our statements. Can he really make us move now that we're almost done paying for the house?
