It’s a sign of desperate times for homeowners facing foreclosure. According to San Diego news channel KFMB, a woman in Mira Mesa, CA, has chained herself to her home, determined to fight imminent eviction any way she can (watch this video). After living in this home for 19 years, she says, “We’re not going to allow the bank to just take it away from us. We did suffer some hard times… we did fall… We are not going to just turn our keys over without a fight.” According to the report, she got an adjustable rate mortgage a few years ago and “didn’t know about the subprime crisis,” and has tried to do everything she can to keep the home. No doubt we will hear more about the outcome of this sad and desperate situation.
Facing foreclosure? One consumer network says you should ask the bank to “produce the note.” I’m not sure if this will help this woman at this point, but it looks like she is determined to fight in any way she can.
