Question: I have a home in Arizona [anti-deficiency state] that was purchased with an 80/20 loan. I have never refinanced the loans. We were in the process of negotiating a short sale, got approval from the first [with Country Wide] and they agreed to pay the 2nd [Citi] $3k, when we went back to Citi to get final approval we discovered that they charged off the 2nd and sold the loan to a subsidiary which has now turned it over to an attorney that claims they are going to file a deficiency judgement against me and collect the debt. They claim that since it was a second mortgage and it was charged off that they can do this. It was a second but it was a “purchase money” loan. Can they come after me for the deficiency?
