Testing was done quickly this morning, and I didn't feel like total crapola, sooooo I went to the courthouse and filed the paperwork on our squatters!! Yay me!
The push over the edge came the other day, in the mail. In response to our 2ND notice of forfeiture, they sent us a very nice letter. It thanked us for our patience, as they 'tried to get financing so they could own it outright', then said that they would like US to determine present market value, because THAT seems to be what they were willing to pay (not the amount stated on the contract they signed!). They then told us that WE needed to send THEM proof that WE are current in OUR mortgage payments on the property!!!!! This from the people who haven't made a single payment in NINE months!

I told DH, if I had to crawl to the courthouse, I would be filing the next set of documents to make them get OUT!

He stopped me before I fired a letter back saying "I pay my bills, you squatters!"
It was very difficult to file. I had to leave and come back twice, go to 3 different departments and two buildings before I found the right one, have my purse thoroughly searched and believe it or not, the process server does NOT accept cash (she said she needs the paper trail, which I guess makes sense). But I feel much better now. Just 4-5 more months, and they will have to leave

Or, they pay what they owe in arrears and we start the silly dance all over again
So, no bear sighting. I did, however, scare the tar out of the lady who was testing me. Apparently, she knew nothing about said bear, and was very freaked out about my little tale
