NOTICE OF OWNER'S RIGHTS
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PREVENT THIS SHERIFF'S SALE
To prevent this Sheriffs Sale, you must take immediate action:
The sale will be cancelled if you pay to the mortgagee the back payments, late charges,
costs and reasonable attorney's fees due. To find out how much you must pay, you may
call: (215) 563-7000.
You may be able to stop the sale by filing a petition asking the Court to strike or open the
judgment, if the judgment was improperly entered. You may also ask the Court to
postpone the sale for good cause.
3. You may also be able to stop the sale through other legal proceedings.
You may need an attorney to assert your rights. The sooner you contact one, the more chance
you will have of stopping the sale. (See notice on page two on how to obtain an attorney.)
YOU MAY STILL BE ABLE TO SAVE YOUR PROPERTY AND YOU HAVE OTHER
RIGHTS EVEN IF THE SHERIFF'S SALE DOES TAKE PLACE.
1. If the Sheriff's Sale is not stopped, your property will be sold to the highest bidder. You may
find out the price bid by calling (215) 563-7000.
2. You may be able to petition the Court to set aside the sale if the bid price was grossly
inadequate compared to the value of your property.
3. The sale will go through only if the buyer pays the Sheriff the full amount due in the sale. To
find out if this has happened, you may call (717) 240-6390.
4. If the amount due from the Buyer is not paid to the Sheriff, you will remain the owner of the
property as if the sale never happened.
5. You have the right to remain in the property until the full amount due is paid to the Sheriff
and the Sheriff gives a deed to the buyer. At that time, the buyer may bring legal proceedings to evict
yOU.
6. You may be entitled to a share of the money which was paid for your house. A schedule of
distribution of the money bid for your house will be filed by the Sheriff within 30 days of the sale. This
schedule will state who will be receiving that money. The money will be paid out in accordance with
this schedule unless exceptions (reasons why the proposed distribution is wrong) are filed with the
Sheriff within ten (10) days after the distribution is filed.
7. You may also have other rights and defenses, or ways of getting your home back, if you act
immediately after the sale.
YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS PAPER TO YOUR LAWYER AT ONCE. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE

MEMORANDUM OF LAW
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 430(a) specifically' provides:
(a) If service cannot be made under the applicable role, the plaintiffmay move the Court
for a special order directing the method of service. The Motion shall be accompanied by an
Affidavit stating the nature and extent of the investigation which has been made to determine the
whereabouts of the Defendant and the reasons why service cannot be made.
Note: A Sheriffs return of "Not Found" or the fact that a Defendant has moved without
leaving a new forwarding address is insufficient evidence of concealment. Gonzales vs. Polis,
238 Pa. Super. 362, 357 A.2d 580 (1976). "Notice of intended adoption mailed to last known
address requires a good faith effort to discover the correct address." Adoption of Walker, 468 Pa.
165,360 A.2d 603 (1976).
An illustration of good faith effort to locate the defendantt includes (1) inquires of postal
authorities including inquiries pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 39 C.F.R. Part 265,
(2) inquiries of relatives neighbors, friends and employers of the Defendant and (3) examinations
of local telephone directories, voter registration records, local tz~x records, and motor vehicle
records.
As indicated by the attached Affidavit of Service, marked hereto as Exhibit "A", the
Sheriffhas been unable to serve the Notice of Sale. A good faith effort to discover the
whereabouts of the Defendant has been made as evidenced by the attached Affidavit of Good
Faith Investigation, marked Exhibit "B."
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests service ol? the Notice of Sale by certified
mail and regular mail to Defendant's last known address.
