I sold my home on a land contract and now the bank said that I defaulted on my loan with them and will not take any payments. What should I do?
Most bank loans have a clause that state they can take moneys deposited into their bank for debt collection. Find a new bank, you are legally responsible for the debt. :idea:

hi machalker!

welcome to forums!

if the property has been already sold off, then you're not liable for the loan. the new owner of the property should refinance the loan in his/her name and pay the loan.

feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Let me guess , when you sold land contract, you gave the buyer YOUR mortgage payment coupons and had him/her pay directly rather than to you and then you to the lender.

DUMB! ,and now you're paying the price. Also you will need to get the land contract off the title if you intend to resell the property. Worst of all possible worlds.

Appears your loan has already been accelerated but lender might accept FULL reinstatement. Plead and then plot out your options for ultimate sale of property and satisfaction of the debt.

Forgot to mention another possible barrier to any pleading you might do. Suspect the lender was unaware of the property “sale” – a default under standard mortgage terms. With the payment default, the lender now knows and this may be part of their renitence to deal.
