We have been unable to sell our home for what is owed and contacted Navy Federal Credit Union about doing a short sale. They sent us the paperwork and we put the home on the market, during this process NFCU would not postpone the sheriff sale, however, we live in Michigan and have a 6 month redemption period after the short sale. We finally rec 'd an offer on the home and now NFCU is telling us they wo n't negotiate a short sale because it is after the sheriff sale ... this make no sense to us because they did n't inform us of this at anytime during the process. We ca n't pay off the loan and really do n't want the home to remain vacant for over 6 months. Does n't the government want banks and credit unions to work with their mortgage holders? Please help.
