It is obvious that she wasn’t living there by her statements. This happened to a client of ours in California. We were attempting a short sale with signs a lockbox and marketing. The client let the electric bill go and so the home sat with utilities off well secured and advertised for sale. The banks field company came over and left handprints on all the windows and finally got one to pry open and changed our locks and removed our lockboxes we were using to market the home. 1 month or more prior to the legal trust deed (foreclosure) sale. We in turn made contact with the bank and let them know that these actions had interefered with the homeowners right to attempt to sell the home prior to foreclosure. As a result we were able to get the foreclosure sale put on hold and in a short time had sold the home on a short sale transaction….. That was over 2 years ago…. So this is not a new situation just being faced this year. The homeowner in our case has sinced cleaned their credit and improved the score. They are qualified for a home purchase on a new home loan and have saved a reasonable amount for downpayment. This time they are now shopping for a home well within the means of their current employment levels.

So the real story that should be portrayed is how can we help people with a devistated outlook on home ownership and foreclosure see their possible near financial future of re-purchasing with good qualifications and turning their investment and financial future around.

Not looking into the future and trying to modify loans and trap people financially in their current homes will slowly decline this country into a perpetual bankrupt situation where people never truly own their homes.

Go basic on me here.

Despite pendingforeclosure litigation, isn’t is a criminal offense of some sort to break into a person’s home and change the locks?
