Interesting that the fha partial claim is available to fha bad credit situations

Here is an answer to the fha partial claim question that was asked on HUD's website for the partial claim questions/answers.

Answer: Yes, when using a Preforeclosure Sale after a Partial Claim was provided on an earlier default, you must include the amount of the Partial Claim when calculating total indebtedness for the purpose of a Preforeclosure Sale. In order to be in compliance, mortgagees must include the unpaid principal balance, accrued interest, and the partial claim amount to correctly calculate the total outstanding mortgage indebtedness. HUD must net a minimum 82% of the sales proceeds from the Preforeclosure Sale. Refer to Mortgagee Letter 2003-19, dated November 20, 2003.
