Hello and Happy Holidays,


It's all about the money, my wife and I are trying to sell our house so that we can move. We both have jobs waiting for us in a different state. The problem is that we found out that there is a lien against the house due to her ex-husband. He went bankrupt on a car through Ford Motor Company. She just found out just a short time ago. Here is the obstacle, We have to sell the house but the sale that is pending is not going to be enough to finance the move in fact it will only leave us about $50. So I am not sure where to turn or what to do. I would like to be able to take out a loan for $5000 and that well get us moved and into a new house that is if we follow through with this sale on the house that is pending. The other possibility would to back out of the house deal and start from scratch and hope we can find a another buyer.

Ok now is there any way to stop a lien on a house within a couple of weeks?
Is there any companies, banks or people that would loan that kind of money to some one that has about a 600 credit points?
I for the most part don't care about the interest rate on the loan as long as it is semi-reasonable.
Like I said we have to move my wife's health is depending on it as well as the well being of my kids.

Something has to happen to make it work before the end of January 2006.

Any and all advice would be more than welcome thank you.

So does the ex husband still own the house as well? Because that is really the only way a lien could have been placed on it, or else it was back from the days when he use to own it.

Re: $5,000. I would recommend going through with the move (sounds like you already have a new place lined up in the new state). As you said, your wife's health depends on it.

Where to get the 5,000 from?

- Try a bank
- Friends or family
- Sell some of your assets to come up with the 5,000 (perhaps some jewelry)
- If you can't find the money anywhere, taking 5,000 on credit cards is always an option, but not that highly recommended considering the interest rate is about 21%
