Countrywide Short Sale Sellers Submitting Phony Purchase Offers?

Countrywide has a new short sale policy to cancel a file if changes are made. This could include mistakes Countrywide made – which unfortunately can happen quite often.

Common mistakes could include:

1) Countrywide forgetting to add back taxes to the HUD-1.
2) Countrywide listing the wrong buyer on the HUD-1.

Unfortunately even escalating files to senior management does not reinstate the file due to Countrywide’s new policy.

Apparently the new policy by Countrywide is due to some short sale sellers submitting fake short sale purchase offer to make an attempt to postpone the trustee sale. Unfortunately, due to a few shady acts, the rest of the short sale agents, sellers and buyers pay the price.
