My husband and I were facing foreclosure back in 2005 for property located at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Texas. We had a mortgage insurance policy in place at the time. We approached the mortgage company, XXXX, regarding a short sale to prevent the forclosure process. XXXX told us that we could " only sale the property if we signed a promissory note to pay back the insurance company '', XXXX XXXX XXXX We sold the home and are currently paying back a non-collateral promissory in the amount of {$20000.00}. We recently discovered that this practice was inappropriate/and illegal for both mortgage and insurance companies.
