Misleading Info on foreclosures - 2009-05-31 10:51:33
I cant believe that you wrote this story, but failed to mention or research that the foreclosure laws were changed on April 4, 2008. So NO NEW CASES COULD BE FILED AFTER THIS DATE!

The new law had requirements that obviously were not done prior, so it created a stoppage of all foreclosure fillings for atleast 60 days.
