I recently had the fun of negotiating with Compass Bank as the 2nd Lien Holder who fairly quickly informed me they had an acceptance of our offer!  When I received the acceptance letter, it was actually and acceptance of what Compass would like to have, which was $1,500 more and NO release of deficiency that was originally requested!

They are telling me that Compass does not release deficiency!  Does anyone have a route or successful experience getting a deficiency release?  This is NOT a HAFA deal, and funds allowed by the 1st is 6% of 2nd's loan balance.
