Lets see if I can make this short. I am the lien holder on a contract for deed. My house was in ikes path but survived when I went to ask questions to the buyer about the repairs and to make sure my was cover on all insurance policys. I learned she had taken my name off one insurance policy and had bought another one and never list me at all. She said because the second policy was not required that she had the right to leave me off. When I pushed the issue she was pissed off and her husband went to yelling ( I am a widowed mother ) so he was trying to throw he weight around. I changed the address as to were to mail the note every month a few months ago and one month I agree on paper to let her over night the note as long as it got there in time. Now that I am moving and making some changes in my life I ask her to start mailing the note to another address and I gave her plently of notice on the change of address ( like 3 weeks before the note was due ) and she told me no. she was mailing it to the other address no matter what I said. She said I have no rights to the home and I am only the lien holder nothing else. Can you believe this. I have talked to a reat estate attorney but I have another question. Since she has been giving me so much trouble in the last year I have emailed a old friend of mine to just blow off stem to her I never said anything to my friend about her other than things she was doing with issues to the house. Now I find out my friend turned over all the emails to the lady in my house. What do I do now and can they do anyting to me for all my feelings and thougths in emails. Again I never said anyting other than issues with my house. Please help me

I don't know what you are concerned about or your exact question. An Attorney seems to have settled most of this for you.

If your interest is whether you have slandered her and will be sued:

Briefly - Generally in law libel refers to permanent/written statements and slander refers to non-permanent/spoken statements. Defamation (of character) covers both categories.

You must be damaged - and prove damages - in order to recover. The statements (either written or spoken) must be false but presented as though they were true and be beyond offensive, derogatory or insulting. Such statement must rise to a level which actually harms a person’s reputation. In general the person making the statement must either know it isn’t true or make the statement without attempting to verify if it is true.

The defense to defamation is that the information was not presented as the truth (which covers gossip), that the information was never secret (privileged) and was always public.

It will depend upon what you wrote about the other person.

If I haven't understood the specific question, please post it again.
