2:02. Did they say she was moving INTO HER CAR? God.

Maybe she should not have bought a house she could not afford.

you have to laugh, they are breaking her life over like no money at all. Meanwhile they let that guy steal 50b and he gets to keep it all and only gets house arrest.
All these financial crooks should be drawn and quartered

jvfran2 the house was left to her by her parents.

5 HellionX December 27, 2008 at 10:44 pm

Her house was inherited.

most people who have nice things are barely holding on to them and swimming in debt to hold them.They be more like her in 2009.

7 jiggakilla666 December 27, 2008 at 11:51 pm

She is dumb.This is something a dumb person would do.

for me.. it’s stupid to have a loan in a untrusted and unpopular company.

9 GoldenFireReviews December 28, 2008 at 12:32 am

“they’ve got you by the ba…” I am really not liking the news today!!!

About two years ago I went to a forclosure seminar. Well worth the $99 bucks. They taught how to do this but not in the shady way it was done here. She is stupid to have actually done this.

if they know who did it why don’t authorites do something? they sure will do something to take her home! is the world really as awful as it seems? this is just wrong.. they should be trying to find that thief who scammed her.. why arent they?

12 futuristfood December 28, 2008 at 1:41 am

YES..AGREED.. can we help her? what can we as observers do?

13 mrdrstandrew December 28, 2008 at 5:59 am

she didn’t buy it, dope, she inherited it.
she didn’t make the greatest of decisions, but, that’s beside the point.

14 polishedrazor December 28, 2008 at 7:59 am

Perhaps people should buy RVs instead? At least with RVs you’re not paying property taxes all of the time like you are with houses, right?

15 jvfran2 December 28, 2008 at 9:02 am

Oh, ok. Well, that makes sense. Then…maybe she should not have taken out a loan against a house SHE put no equity into. What about inheritence tax? Death tax and all of those?

16 zoomydood December 28, 2008 at 9:40 am

wow thats really sad

17 hammocktime2002 December 28, 2008 at 10:28 am

So true and now she’s crying the blues about a situation about which she had some control…caveat emptor

18 DRUNKMUSICIAN December 28, 2008 at 11:49 am

We are not getting the full story, it would not be interesting news. An investor can legally do this is the dumb ass homeowner signs off all certain paperwork.

19 mannyfeseha January 2, 2009 at 8:46 pm

please help ther foreclosing on my house

Huge red flag yes. But most loan modification companies do charge anywhere from $1400 to $4000 in up front fees. Yes you can try to talk to your lender, but they don’t always want to work with you. They will try to get the best deal for them. The best thing to do is get an attorney to do the loan mod for you. They will also look over your loan to make sure there aren’t any RESPA violations.

Not humorous by any means. Ignorant piece of shit.

22 Midvinterblot542 January 26, 2009 at 7:00 pm

Yes the world really is that awful. Society is rotten to the core.

I may have to finance something and pay interest on it for the first time in my life, but that is only to advance myself. Not to be flashy. People these days don’t want to live within their means in terms of material possessions. They want to buy on credit, enjoy it, and then die with debt and the companies know that. I say try to find joy in your life without buying a bunch of crap. It is not like it’s going to be sold at auction. More than likely it will be trash. Poor investment for the kids

Let no one fool you. President Barack Obama is a representative of the financial corporate aristocracy of our nation whose policies are designed to defend the wealth of the ruling corporate elite. Unfortunately, organized advocacy group’s like ACORN or Move On should get together and organize a huge monster demonstration against their beloved President on the same spot where they shouted with glee when he was sworn into office in Washington D.C.

Oh the woes of people living high, thinking their security lies in material things instead of in their knowledge & skills. From family treasures & glamor to now crying about living in her CAR? Really now; do well-heeled women live is such a big bubble that they don’t know a thing about having something called mad money, an emergency fund, a secret cash-stash hidden away? Majority of US workers have lived lean for so many years it’s hard to feel sorry for people who inherit lavish comforts.
