Raising the foundation

Question : Hello I am thinking of remodeling my basement. it has a real foundation with a cinder block foundation 5 feet of the original. It is 5 feet tall and is filled with dirt all the way around my basement. Can this cinder block be taken out or at least moved closer to the original foundation?

Jake's Answer:  I have never seen any thing like you have described.  If I understand you correctly, which I am not too certain I do, I think that the block you have mentioned is a very important part of the foundation system and should not be tampered with.
