Thanks Marilyn! My taxes are in my mortgage..I did try to call the county appraisers office but could not wait on the line any longer because I had to go to court. I will call back.. I looked up the Illinois tax code but could not really be sure with all of that legaleze if you know what I mean. To interperet these things correctly you need an attorney!!! What a mess they created..Bret Baier from FOX had a couple guests on tonite talking about if the Gov should help homeowners.. I wanted to kill the woman on there she was rambling on about well if these people can’t afford the mortgage they should move into a rental and they probably bought a house they could not afford subprime blah, blah, blah…..The gentleman guest was more human and said well people have an emotional attachment to their homes and the bitch would have none of it..Not a word about the 40 trillion in collateral fraud committed by Wall Street or all of their other massive pernicious crimes!!!!!!!..Just the usual Nazi b.s., blame the victims of the Ponzi Scheme, not the criminals who committed the massive fraud!!… More of the same crap, people bought homes they could not afford…I can’t watch FOX even for a few minutes, they are bad for my health!!!

Fito….just what are you trying to tell the people ? You say we are not getting support from attorneys…what attorneys? Do you mean the Attorney Generals or the defense attorneys ? Do you even understand why no attorney is there to help any of us? Do you understand how deep this crime goes and who is the culprits behind the ‘ curtain hiding ‘ ? Please explain what you mean……..

Thank You Shelley. I am up to date on my property taxes because of the loan mod. It looks to me like they put enough money in escrow to cover my last tax bill because they sent me a check for a few hundred that I overpaid into tax escrow. The next taxes are due in October so I just want to know I am safe.. I give you all the credit in the world for fighting this pro se I think you are doing a really tough job.. I went to court today for my fraudclosure, PHH attorneys Fisher & Shapiro filed a motion to strike my answer to the amended complaint..I met with an attorney last week and he told me to ask for time so he could answer the motion to strike. While sitting in court, guess what I found? MORE FORECLOSURE FRAUD!!!!!….They stamped over forgeries and removed the allonge that were all in the original complaint..I showed it to the judge and he said it would be best to show that to my attorney and that it is good that I found an attorney.. Damn!! I thought he might dismiss the fraudclosure but guess not! He did give us 28 days to answer the motion to strike and told me my attorney will know what to do from here…..The attorney for the plaintiff said he did not see a reason to strike my answer to the amended complaint but I did not follow the proper protocol…WOW, look who’s talking?? I told the judge my first attorney threw me under the bus and I had to answer it myself and I thought I did it right. The judge was nice to me. The banks just keep calling out their own fraud to see if we catch it…I think because in my answer to the original complaint I called them out on all of the fraud and so they went back and stamped over all of it and removed the allonge! I noticed one attorney actually fighting back for a homeowner today for the very first time, he asked for discovery because the bankster attorney was looking to be granted a summary judgement. For the most part though, people are sheeple..It just makes me want to go nuts sitting inside that courtroom and see this.. One woman left the court near tears because the judge told her she had until Oct. to find an attorney or her home was going up for auction….This is horrible..it is just not right!!

Wayne…..And I feel this ‘ something ‘ is going to happen soon……very soon….and agree..it don’t look good. Can you even imagine….millions of people taken down to shreads with complete corruption and fraud and the government is right along in this crime of America…..Millions need to start preparing for tomorrow…..

Mildred…..you are correct on the info…. The county has the rights to place a lien on that parcel of land…..in default the land goes on a tax sale.

By the way…my daughter never had an escrow account with any bank.

I vent….my daughters foreclosure was served in Jan 2010…she had already paid her property taxes..Florida pays for the prior past year….so that was for the year 2009…for the year 2010 taxes she went to pay them to find that Chase had paid them. Now at the end of this year for 2011 taxes if her case is still open she will let them pay the taxes. Her attorney said ..Great..let them pay the taxes…and your home insurance policy…But she covered her butt…both places put into the computer that she appreared to pay and letter was given for her proof of intent. Now this is Florida…Actually..I would believe it does not matter who pays the taxes as long as they are paid….I paid my Mom’s taxes in Florida when I lived in Michigan….But I have heard of that years back on abandon houses…to gain the land rights to own. If the bank does pay the taxes…do like my daughter did…a short letter dated for proof and remarks in the computer. Otherwise either the tax collector in your county may have the answer or try the county appraisers office…they would know where you can get your county or state answer on this.

Thank You, Fito! I will look into what you explained. What a mess!!

I am not an attorney. It has always been my belief that if anyone pays your property taxes for three years staight they can claim your property. I have been watching that one as well. Each state may have different rules just like each state has statute of limitation rules, and adverse possession rules, and castle law rules. I am Pro Se and learning myself.

Thank You Mildred!!!
