Why is it a need to extend the contract? to postpone closing on a time that has never been set? You also... Read more »
It appears that they got a new license number. Is this legal? If I am trying to get the contract voided would this matter? It seems very shady to me that the license number they provided on my contract, while valid at the time, became listed as terminated, on the DPOR website, about 30 days later... Read more »
As long as the contractor has a valid license number and the numbers were associated with him (and not someone else) then this seems OK.

Be considered mail tampering. I have received the letter 1444c three times to my forwarded address but they returned the payment for the notice three times they know what they are doing and I want to know if I could perhaps file a complaint against that post office or whoever is in charge ect.
No. They are not supposed to forward certain things. You need to be sure that the IRS and the government have your proper address. Discuss this with your Congressperson--they have information on how you can get your payments.
Per my realtor the answer was no. Is there anyway I can back out? Of course after paying the buyers back for anything they have spent on inspection and ETC
