No - it means that you will probably receive a notice from a collection agency about 7 months from now explaining that you are in collections for the unpaid balance of the mortgage. It happened to me after there was $239.00 balance from a refinance when the payoff was quoted with the wrong amount. I had to pay it, but the worst part was getting my credit cleared up. Keep lots of records, all letters, etc., that you will need to help clear up your credit later.

I was told there is nothing I could do when the bank makes an error. I had to make it right. I had the mortgage, the Satisfaction Piece marked "Paid in Full", but it didn't matter. Work with your bank now, so you don't have problems later.

How do you get a letter from your previous mortgage company stating you no longer hold responsibility of property due to foreclosure?

You should receive a letter from the mortgage company stating that mortgage lien is released when the house is sold or auctioned off. This does not mean that you no longer have an obligation unless the mortgage company sold the house for an amount that would cover your total balance including all collection costs and any other costs, like real estate taxes, utilities etc. that were incurred. If the mortgage company did not have a deficit balance left, you should have no trouble getting such a letter, but if there is a balance due, the letter may state something to the effect that the property has been sold but a deficit balance of a certain amount of money is due.

Can you qualify for a Reverse mortgage with balance owed on original mortgage?

Yes. The reverse mortgage must however pay off the existing mortgage balance, which means you need some equity to make the qualification work. If there is not enough equity in the home to qualify for a reverse mortgage you may choose to bring in the amount needed to finish paying off the existing mortgage- thus eliminating the mortgage payments for good.
