A Woman Fights Foreclosure For 25 Years...Will She Keep Her House?

Posted by 3Rachel on January 27, 2011 at 10:10pm in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

A 71-year old woman has been neglecting to pay the mortgage payments on her house since October of 1985 ...She has been able to get away with this by having a 105-lb. pitbull and a "Beware of the Dog" sign...Her foreclosure has outlasted three recessions, two marriages, and four presidents...Also Part of the reason she has been able to keep her house, is because of poor practices of lenders in the past...Do you think she'll continue to keep her house?

Well, my opinion is, if she has been there for so long and she is a bit old, why not just let her stay? It's ridiculous to attempt to get so much money out of the woman if she is most likely not going to be alive for more that a decade or so.

--Though, it isn't right that she should get away from this without paying any money. It certainly doesn't give those she owes the money a good name.

--Either way, I'm sure the woman will find a way to keep her house. So far so good, eh? If the dog has worked so far, maybe it'll keep them away? Haha, anywho. I'm sure she'll get to keep her house, one way or another.

I think they will get her out using some kind of force. Or maybe they will threaten to just take the money.

If she got more pitbulls she could last through even more recessions

I would just give the lady the house. She has fought this long for it and been able to keep it why not.

i think that if they really wanted her to leave the house they should have made her a long time ago. i think that they should just let her keep it. it obviously must mean a lot to her

I don't understand how they have let this go on for so long. I think eventually she will get in trouble, and they will make her pay for it or kick her out.
