I happened upon a youtube video of a radio program talking about how to stop the bank from foreclosing on your house and, knowing how many of my faithful fraccers hail from the United States of America, I decided to make it available here.
It’s called ‘Produce the Note” and while it won’t be the answer to everyone’s problems, it may be the answer for some, because with banks selling and trading the notes, there are times when a foreclosure notice might just come from someone who doesn’t actually have the right to foreclose on you.
If this is helpful to even one person out there, it was worth posting.
Interesting….
Recently I came across an article about a woman who was pleading with the public for help (money) because she could no longer afford the mortgage payments on her $800,000 house and was going to have to foreclose.
What did she do for a living, you might ask, to afford such a veritable palace?
She drives a city bus.
This is precisely how we got into this mess.
(sigh)
Surely you jest. I thought the only person to blame for absolutely everything and anything, was George W. Bush? So you mean some people are actually responsible for their own troubles?
OMG! This should be on, like CNN or something!
That aside, I do have sympathy for those who find themselves in this boat because of a job loss, not because they had no sense and got in over their heads due to greed and the inability to delay gratification.
This is making me want to move to Saskatoon and chew bark while humming at my belly button. How’s the availability of flannel wearing women who still like men up in them there parts, Fracas?
Frac,
I definitely feel for those losing their jobs, as I may soon be one of them, but there are many (particularly here in Memphis) who dug their own graves, more or less.
Working in the real estate biz, I see it all the time. People who, for some unknown reason, were approved for a 400K loan, going out and buying a 399K house, only to foreclose six months down the line. (sigh)
Still, most everything else is Bush’s fault.
John – I suppose you could chew bark and hum at your belly button, but most of us here find more exciting things to do than that, silly. I don’t think I’ve had to chew bark in years.
And… if you’re looking for someone who wears flannel because that’s what you’re into… I’m sure you’ll be able to find someone. We’ve actually had heating in our homes for years, and with enough blankets, I hear some people can even actually sleep nude if they want to. You shouldn’t have too much trouble with your flannel thing though… I’ve noticed that whole ‘gals liking gals’ thing seems to be concentrated in the ‘under 18′ crowd, of which I’m assuming you’re not all that interested in.
The Rev. – I didn’t disagreee with you there Rev. I agree that a lot of the troubles many are in are self-inflicted from years of living according to wants instead of means and people humoring them in that for too long. I know people like that too. I just hold a tiny spot for those who don’t fit that.
Oh yeah… and actually… I think a some things were actually Clinton’s fault and he was just smarmy enough to know how to make them look like everyone else’s fault.
