Civil Action Ejectment

[JustKurt]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA

my home went to sheriff sale in June and was purchased back by the bank. Since then, we were talking back and forth with a man to orchestrate the cash for keys scenario. He says he already has our check and we will trade off on the day we move out, check for keys. Originally, they wanted us out by August 1. We have found a new place to live, but that place may not be available until the 2nd week of August. We wont know for sure an exact date it will be available until, at the latest, the end of next week.

We have been conversing back and forth with this gentleman and called him instantly and said along the lines of "hey buddy... we are getting out, but we may be a little bit late". He said it wouldnt be a problem and to keep him updated, which we have done.

Today, the sheriff came knocking at the door and served us with the above legal form "Civil Action - Ejectment". Fannie Mae v. myself. It seems to be a form of some sort, however, the "claims" on the second page have me kind of puzzled.

The first five are generic statements (i.e. 1) plaintiff is fannie mae, 2) defendant is such and such, 3) plaintiff is record owner of premesis, 4) plaintiff became owner of said premisis on such and such a date from sheriff sale, 5) plaintiff is record owner and is entitled to posession therof. the defendant is occupying the said premisis without right. #6 has me a bit confused. 6 says: Plaintiff has demanded posession of the said premisis from the said defendant who has refused to deliver up posession of same. WHEREOF, plaintiff seeks to recover posession of said premisis.

there is no court date listed on this paper. It just says "if you wish to defend against the calim, take action within 20 days".

Is this just a legal form that they have to do in the process of eviction or is the man we are talking to about the cash for keys not relaying messages to the bank? Is there a real threat of coming home and having our house padlocked?
