This is a second complaint filed -- the initial complaint resulted in the bank rescinding the original foreclosure. We discussed the payment required to enter into a forbearance agreement. The original amount discussed was significantly lower -- the amount that was offered by the bank was eventually much higher and the funds were not available to make such a payment. We agreed to sell the family home after making certain renovations : those renovations ( about 80 % ) were made at a cost of over {$40000.00}. We began listing the house a short while ago. It was our understanding that the bank would give us the time to try and sell the house at a reasonable valuation. The listing price was almost XXXX % below the tax appraised value -- I think it showed we were serious about selling the home as quickly as possible. A great deal of work went into the staging and removal of most personal items to a storage center. 

We were scheduled for a realtor open house last weekend when a stranger knocked at our door saying the property was listed in the paper for foreclosure just a a little over a week away and wanted us to retain him to fight the bank -- we declined. A couple of days later a letter arrived from the Bank 's law firm saying the foreclosure was re-instated and scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX. The bank officials with whom we had discussed the forbearance, etc.had out emails and telephone numbers -- they made no attempt to contact us an alert us they were moving in this direction. We in good faith made several investment renovations decisions in the prior week, including purchasing new counter tops and appliances for the kitchen and replacement windows. It appears that this investment has been for nothing and we will lose these money. The auction will only bring an amount close to the banks loan/lien and we will see $ XXXX - $ XXXX of equity disappear. 

Given our willingness to list and sell the house at a discount, I think it would only have been right for the bank to provide this time. Also they should have communicated sooner that they were moving forward with the foreclosure so we could have stopped investing in renovations to the home.
