Has anyone encountered an FHA tax service fee that FHA will not permit the buyer to pay and since it is a Short Sale on an existing FHA loan, that bank won't allow the seller to pay it either. How was it handled???

The bank needs to verify that a chapter 7 has been discharged. Without a copy, they will not proceed. Call the attorney or the trustee for your borrowers to check on the status of the home in the bankruptcy documents.

Thanks Chad.  I did talk to HUD and they are unclear on this only to say refer to ML2013-23 and all BK guidelines are from 2008-xx.  I have asked Wells to check into the variance request.  We are trying to work around this as sellers will bail on this if we don't find alternate solution.

Jeffrey, it is going to depend on the CH 7 and if the sellers are still liable for any portion of the note. If they were discharged of the loan debt, it will take a variance from HUD to remove the required contribution OR the sellers could choose to walk away. There could be other liabilities (such as taxes/utilities) associated with walking away and they should consult with an attorney. The sellers may have to weigh out their options. Chad.

Good Afternoon all.  I have a Wells Fargo FHA short sale, and sellers are discharged Chapter 7(for quite some time now). They then received a small inheritance this year from the death of a parent and Wells based those figures on those bank stmts. 

The ATP was just issued and they want a $2228.29 cash contribution in order to issue approval letter.  I have scoured the FHA guidelines and cannot find anything on PFS as it relates to prior bankruptcy.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Seller will never contribute.

maybe they did not include the mortgage in the BK , I would get proof that the property was abandonned by the trustee and a copy of the petition to show the intention was to include the property in the BK

Working on an FHA short sale through Wells Fargo. Received the following request today from the WFC processor: "I am stuck on this file right now, I need Bankruptcy Attorney and/or agent to obtain the court consent to sell property. There is a discharged chp7 from 09-09-13."  I've done lots of short sales but I've never received a request like this before. Why would we need a court consent to sell if the BK is discharged??  I would think the court has no jurisdiction over the matter after discharge but I'm no expert. In December I closed an FHA short sale through Bank of America that had been discharged through a Chapter 7.  Neither B of A nor HUD/FHA required anything relating to the BK.  I asked why this was needed and he just responded "I cannot proceed without it." Nice.  Thoughts from the smarter than I am crowd?

Thanks Joe

I've gotten some good ones from BofA, but never that one. The loan is FHA insured and the investor didn't want to be paid? Yeah. But then I hadn't run into someone with 2 FHA loans, either.

You need to email your authorization to HUD. I find it best to add why you have a problem, but you are supposed to call them. By putting in your reason, usually HUD will call you. If you get a phone answering nimrod (like "that's the way it is" response), call back and ask for clarification or something that will get you to a real analyst. [email protected]

I submitted an FHA SS w One of BoA's vendors, was told I had to get a higher net-which I did, it was then passed to the next level for review and was told the seller had 2 FHA loans. I was told to get a written explanation as to why she had 2 (she didn't choose her type of loan or insurer) and the status of her other loan(current). I then received a decline letter stating just that the investor declined. Any suggestions as to how to resolve this would be helpful
