Ok, here's the latest.

Agent emailed me back this afternoon and said they are giving me the contract tomorrow afternoon. That's good and bad. Good that they are submitting the contract but bad because it comes after the foreclousre auction time scheduled for noon.

I've been in contact with the judge today in the court handling the foreclosure case, the bank's attorneys, my attorneys, you name it. The judge's office contacted the bank's attorneys to see if they would be willing to stop the sale. They said they would cancel it but they need authorization from the bank and passed on another number for me to call. I called that number and spoke to a supervisor who told me the bank would need the contract before the auction. They also told me they need 24 hours to approve this and at this point they couldn't cancel it even if I had a contract today. BS! The attorneys representing the bank told me they could still stop it.

I have a local VP contact with the bank that I've been emailing and he's trying to help us. I told him that we'll receive the contract by tomorrow afternoon and the letter of intent later this evening. I told him we would receive the contract just a matter of a few hours after the scheduled auction time.

So now I can't do much more until morning. This has got to be the absolute stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life. We have a contract coming tomorrow that pays off the entire loan for the bank and they can't postpone the auction? It's just got me shaking my head. It looks as thought I actually have to go with plan B and file in the morning to stop the auction so I can buy myself a few lousy hours until I get the contract. Unfortunately once I begin plan B it stays with me even if I withdrawl it the next day. Feel like this is some sort of bad dream.

Anyway, I'm handling it. I've been so focused the past few days making these calls and taking care of business. Reminds me of how I used to be prior to the past 2-3 years of hard times. I've worked my tail off with this situation.

So we'll see what the morning brings. I will only have 1-2 hours to make one last effort to stop the sale before I would need to file plan B. Unfortnuately it looks like that's the way this is headed which is so unneccessary if the bank would just give us a matter of a few more hours. Not sure what else I can do now? I know one thing when this is all over I'm sleeping for a week.
