Greenwood Mayor's House on Auction Block Again

Greenwood Mayor Kenneth Edwards’ residence is in foreclosure once again and is scheduled for auction next month, according to a mortgage notice. According to Wilson & Associates, PLLC in Little Rock, the company listed in the legal notice, the payments are at least 90 days past due for it to be up for auction. A nonjudicial foreclosure auction of Edwards’ home is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Oct. 8 at the Sebastian County Courthouse in Greenwood, according to a mortgagee notice filed in the Times Record classifieds. Edwards could make a payment up to the time the residence is scheduled for auction and it would stop the process, a representative at Wilson & Associates said Thursday. The home at 129 N. Gov. Bass Little St., previously Bass Street, is owned by a family trust for which another family member serves as trustee. It was purchased in December 2003 and had previously been slated for foreclosure auction about two times each year in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Edwards has repeatedly told the Times Record , “It’s not my debt, not my house, ... and I’m not the one who makes the payments. “He has said the trust makes payments monthly and sometimes quarterly, as it has income.
