Accordingly, the trial court erred in granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment and in denying CSB's motion as to this specific issue. HWA Props., Inc., 322 Ga. App. at 888-89 (2) (b); see also Gen. Motors Acceptance Corp. v. Newton, 213 Ga. App. 405, 406-07 (444 SE2d 805) (1994) (holding that the failure to confirm a nonjudicial foreclosure sale pursuant to a security deed does not prevent a creditor from seeking to enforce a contractual right to recover against additional security on the debt). --------
Accordingly, the trial court erred in granting the defendants' motion for summary judgment and in denying CSB's motion as to this specific issue. HWA Props., Inc., 322 Ga.App. at 887–888(2)(b), 746 S.E.2d 609;see also Gen. Motors Acceptance Corp. v. Newton, 213 Ga.App. 405, 406–07, 444 S.E.2d 805 (1994) (holding that the failure to confirm a nonjudicial foreclosure sale pursuant to a security deed does not prevent a creditor from seeking to enforce a contractual right to recover against additional security on the debt).Judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part.
Consequently, given these provisions, we conclude that CSB's failure to obtain a valid confirmation of the foreclosure sale, pursuant to OCGA § 44–14–161, does not impair its authority to collect the difference between the amount due on the note and the foreclosure sale proceeds from Albright based upon his personal guaranty. See Baby Days v. Bank of Adairsville, 218 Ga.App. at 755(3), 463 S.E.2d 171. It follows that the trial court did not err in granting summary judgment to CSB on its suit against Albright as a personal guarantor of the note.Id.; see also Gen. Motors Acceptance Corp. v. Newton, 213 Ga.App. 405, 406–407, 444 S.E.2d 805 (1994) (The failure to confirm a nonjudicial foreclosure sale pursuant to a security deed does not prevent a creditor from seeking to enforce a contractual right to recover against additional security on the debt.); Worth v.
