This was also the advice that Jesus gave when dealing with impossibly stubborn people, when they get absurd, beyond all reason, respond in the same way and WHAM they realize what fools they’ve been. To avoid looking more foolish, they rule in your favor.

There is little justice in the lending and mortgage business. It is more like the banks are saying JUST US!

We were shafted twice; once by the banking industry, and then the government agencies and investors took advantage of the situation. The reason no criminal charges were sought in this massive mortgage scam implemented by Countrywide, Bank of America and J..P. Morgan Chase is because there is no money to be gained by it except for the attorneys on both sides who will fight as long as there is a billing to be had. Now the banks are being charged in civil suits and they are paying billions in penalties. But are they compensating the victims who lost their homes through scams and lies? No there is little or no restitution, practically no modification. I watched B of A write off twice the amount of the mortgage in my case, pay their attorney thousands to support their case and then turn around and foreclose and GIVE my house away for 25% of the value of the $250K they charged off when they could have sold it for much more. They liquidated it pure and simple. They showed a loss and then charged back $99,000 to me and also showed reconciliation-relocation charges of another $7,000+, which were NOT paid to me. This will be reported to the IRS as income!
You talk about raping the victim! This is gang rape and there is no defense for the poor who can’t fight. We have already been taken to the slaughterhouse by our Government and believe me those of you who believe the GOP and their small government claims are the answer just aren’t paying attention. The Republican party is not on the side of the little man or the victim. They are squarely in the Wall Street-banking industry that funds their campaigns. I’ve said it before and will again. We have a Plutocracy already in place. Many of us just think we hold the reins.
It is all in our minds!

I totally agree. These judges are all a bunch of bank servants and are for the most part as corrupt as Mexican judges. This whole mess is created by the two headed dragon, our two party system that are both equally responsible for the mess. When will the SHEEPLE finally get it, that Democrats and Republicans ARE THE SAME! They have us so busy trying to cheer for one side and in the end they are all servants to the New World Order.
We are The Sheeple!

Good luck finding a lawyer. I had one of the best but his services disappeared because I could not continue to pay $500 a month to keep his services, which I admit I said I would pay for his work. After an auto accident reduced my income to almost nothing I had no choice but to stop payment on this plus the $850 to the defendant’s law firm that was to be provided according to court order to the defendant. After completion of 6-8 mod packages, over a 4 year period, they kept coming back for updated packages. My $850 was going to the lawyer’s trust fund and no interest, taxes, etc. deductible plus the defendant’s attorney was obviously billing his client or mortgage servicer major big bucks for depositions and service plus my payment, while dragging their feet. I went through this over 4 years and no modification was available so I stopped trying. They were never going to modify the loan or prosecute the case, which may or may not still be pending. We had the Court somewhat on our side but it means nothing if the lawyers staoll the case.
