Home in Foreclosure Limbo

[Jeorgia B.]

Hello BP Family,

I contacted a person listed as the homeowner of house that I noticed was vacant. When she responded to my letter she indicated that she filed bankruptcy 3 years ago and moved out of the house at that time and the house has been vacant all this time.  There was a short letter taped to the window of the house advising to call the number in the letter for questions about the house. When I called they informed me that the house hasn't been scheduled to be auctioned yet and said that I should keep checking their website every few weeks to bid on it in their online auction.

Is there nothing that can be done with this house until it goes up for auction? I find it strange that it was been vacant for 3 years and that it is still listed in the previous owner's name. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance for your help!
