what would be the best way to go about this in a letter example please
Dear [Judge's Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to the decision made in court on [date]. I wish to provide additional context about my eviction.
Firstly, my lender previously advised me not to make any payments until the spring. However, they then terminated the deed improperly. This was acknowledged in our first trial. They later publicized the termination and removed my name from the deed.
Secondly, in their termination letter, they demanded $*,* without deducting the payments I've made over the past 10 years. They didn't provide a detailed breakdown of the amount due, nor options for assistance or repayment of late amounts.
Lastly, they asked for a lump sum payment of $*,*, which I find unreasonable.
I regret not responding to the termination notice within the 60 days, but I was genuinely confused. I am asking for your understanding in this matter.
Thank you for considering my circumstances.
Sincerely,
Adam
