I suspect it canbe used to delay the sale for a lot longer than 1 month. I just got the response from the mortgage company ( or should I say non response - basically saying the information requested is privileged) and have fired back a letter asking them to cite evidence and code that allows them to withold the do***entation requested. When they don't respond with the information requested it should be easy to get the sale date postponed again. At any rate, I had an interesting comment from the law firm handling the sale when I called to verify that the sale had indeed been called off for the 18th -- they said they were waiting to hear from the mortgage company see if the sale was postponed or cancelled completely. Seems from this comment that some mortgage companies may be quietly walking away... stay tuned. Charlotte
