South Carolina's highest court has lifted a temporary stop on thousands of pending foreclosure sales in the state. Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal replaced a previous order with procedures that make sure foreclosures are handled the same way while eligible homeowners seek out federal assistance.
Earlier this month, Toal ordered state judges to stop finalizing foreclosure sales on thousands of properties to give homeowners more time to take advantage of a new federal program to help them refinance mortgages.
