The bank has been trying to take my house since 2009, however, the first time they went to court, they ended up dropping the case without prejudice. What's strange about that is that we never even went to court. We figured that maybe it had something to do with the fact that the debt had been dismiss in our bankruptcy. But, here is how it gets stranger, they went back to the court in 2012 to try again to foreclose and as far as I can see, they still weren't able to. Now, I looked at the civil docket and it says: NOTICE OF DROPPING PARTY DEFT, UNK TENANT 1 & UNK TENANT 2 W/O PREJ BY PLTF and LIS PENDENS (AMENDED). What does it all mean?
They dropped parties to the case and amended the lis pendens. If you filed bankruptcy they can only go after the property, not you personally. You need to at least consult with a local attorney.
