To piggyback on Shannon's response, I would only add that the process can be difficult or easy depending on which bank is the lienholder, and whether there are one or two mortgages. Some banks are very easy and accommodating, and others are darn near impossible to work with. If you are getting weekly updates and see progress, albeit slow and incremental, then you know someone is at least working on it. If there is no communication and no response, then you might indeed need to move on. Good luck! - Thu Aug 27 2009, 07:45
