Stratford, Conn. (WTNH) - A 90-year-old Stratford woman who faced foreclosure won't lose her home after all.

John Puchowicz said he was contacted by Chase bank after his story aired on News 8 earlier this week.

Puchowicz told News 8 Monday his mother was threatened with foreclosure on her condo. Making matters worse, he said the bank didn't notify him about the foreclosure, even though he was a co-signer, and they refused to let him pay it off.

It went on for months but has now been settled. Puchowicz said Chase will be sending a payoff statement that will allow him to pay off the mortgage.

The bank says as long as it's paid the home won't go through foreclosure.
