Christmas Eve Short Sale "Declined" - STRATEGIC DEFAULT

Just received a charming Christmas Eve short sale "decline" after patiently waiting since August 2012 for an approval.  Reason - "strategic default" - DECLINED.  

This loan is through the SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union formerly the OCFTCU.  My seller had to relocate her mother and father to care for them as her mother was diagnosed with cancer early last year.  She and her parents purchased a home together where they live now.  She is $150,000 upside down on her existing home.  She has a tenant in the home but it does not pay the mortgage with a $1,000 negative each month.  She cannot afford to keep both homes and pay for her mother's care.  

This hardship is not considered a hardship in the eyes of the CU.  It breaks my heart to tell her the news the day before Christmas.  No one expected this.  The credit union obviously ran her credit and found the new mortgage and made their decision.  We explained the situation just as I have here.  The new mortgage has all three names on it.  

Be careful of the strategic default!

I would file a complaint with the OCC if it was a true hardship and provide any proof you can that she is caring for her parents in your complaint.
