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.
2. 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.
L
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 Sheriffs 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.

distribution of the money bid for your house will be filed by the Sheriff within 30 days of the sale. This

this schedule unless exceptions (reasons why the proposed distribution is wrong) are filed with the
