For your own peace of mind, never again allow someone to make THEIR problems into YOUR problems. It doesn't mean that you are uncaring, it is just self-preservation.

Even at work, I covered for my boss when I should have just let her take her lumps.

If I had known this early in my life I could have avoided alot of stress and anxiety.

Didn't James Bond do that in Dr. No? Very clever!

Just want to tell that your problems have been discussed in Europe too

What a difficult situation you are in!

We have never experienced something like that, but we know some people, who offered their very best friends to stay with them for 3 month, because the friends’ house wasn't finished in time, and they have sold the old one. Perhaps needless to say, but their long friendship ended after that!

I hope you will be able to part friends with the people, who have occupied your house. And if not-
it’s not you who has done something wrong.

As a child, I use to stock pile money and candy in my bedroom. My brother knew this.

As an adult, I stock pile money and candy in my bedroom. My roommate knew this.

Oh, if that hair could tell stories! It's caught many thieves for me!

The latest:

The house needs to be emptied (The house that was once theirs) by maybe tomorrow, maybe Saturday, possibly Monday. They just came to this realization today and spent a while earlier scrambling to find movers.

"Movers suck! They're expensive"

They think they can be back in the house by Wednesday and more or less "reset" to Day 1 of the 90-day foreclosure cycle. Beats me...they're not here.

Then, we discussed moving. They can only afford 4 hours worth of movers. My point was: Move what you can. what are the real chances that whomever is "in charge" here will actually throw your stuff to the curb? There's a cease and desist stating that the stuff can't be sold. Why would anyone throw it out? They don't care enough to spite you. I was arguing; take what you absolutely 150% can not live without.

"I want it all. It's my stuff and I want it all" (This is her)

Oh really, Varuka? Can I get you a golden goose with that?

Stuff...she wants her stuff. This woman is a child. As I keep screaming in my head: If you'd paid your effing mortgage, none of this would have happened"

"know what I'm going to do next"
"What?"
"Declare bankrupcy"
"why"
"Then I can keep my house and they don't get paid. I'll show them (Wells Fargo)"
"I hate to sound this way, but do you think they care one (explative) about you and that you will in any way hurt them?"
"But I'll have my house"

And circle gets the square.

If they're not out on Wednesday or so, they're out on Friday night (Halloween). We need to leave the house to go to Emerald Isle where I intend to eat my weight in freshly caught seafood, drink rum (they sell Tortuga AND Cockspur down there!!!) and have lots of sex with my wife.

I did ask if they are able to expense living expenses should they need a hotel. She plans to sue someone for that.

I asked for my cut. I asked what the going rate is for a room, food, drink, free internet service and political advice from a 6-year old (other thread but I can't help but call attention to myself) etc.

You think I'm kidding.

Earlier, I almost was feeling their pain. This is rough.

Then I heard the "I want my stuff" speech and remembered why I have never liked her and can understand why he got himself hooked on percocet. (That's really inappropriate, isn't it?) But, I swear to Dog...if you had to listen to this crap...

I leave for PA on Sunday night. I'll be selfish and gleefully say: 3 more nights!

Storage unit.

They will empty the house over the next 48 hours (Although...M is in the shower right now). On Wednesday or so, they will re-load the necessities. This is an insurance policy against their next pending eviction.

Of course, making this all the more wonderful is the fact that they can't get into the house without a realtor present. They can't be "trusted" not t oset the house on fire or smash it up. They have to hope the realtor assigned to them is free more or less all day for the next 3 days.

Good times!

Like I pondered back on some earlier page of this thread: "What would it buy these folks - another 90 days and then they'd been delinquent again?"

Yup.

Maybe in the next 90 days you should change your number so they can't call you when they get foreclosed on again. I just hear all this stuff, and I don't know how they'll ever get back on track -- if they're even interested in getting back on track. It doesn't sound like it.

Now! That is cold.

Yeah, but it's cheap.

Very interesting story but not at all shocking. Im in the self storage/property management industry and this kind of thing is common these days. Regular folks like you and me are walking away from their homes/mortgages/rentals...moving in with family or friends and paying for nothing, including their rent on storage units. Eventually the stuff(junk) gets auctioned off. We all lose. These are irresponsible people, and they are driving down the values of their neighbors homes. Realtors are telling them that within a year, they will be able to buy another home and start over with a clean slate. I dont see that happening. End of rant.
