Just before the government stepped in and stole the show with the news of a program to help troubled homeowners, a few of the big banks like Bank of America and Citigroup had announced their own plans to work with troubled borrowers.  Nobody wants the appearance of being… Read full post »

Just when I thought the hottest news item of the day from the foreclosure crisis consisted of PETA and/or Vivid Entertainment bailing out Octomom from foreclosure, the news outlets (what few are left) are abuzz with news of large banks reducing mortgage balances for troubled borrowers.  Hmmm&hel… Read full post »

YESTERDAY MORNING AT 4:30AM I WROTE THE FOLLOWING:

The past few years have been… um… interesting.  Some might call them disastrous.  Others chaotic.  Less sympathetic folk might even label those years as pathetic.  And yet I prefer to use the term interesting beca… Read full post »

It’s March 19^th, 2010 and I’m still in the house.  At some point in the near or far future my lender, Bank of America, is going to foreclose on me and there's little if anything I can do about it.  I've been rummaging through solutions for over a year and finally… Read full post »

13 days remain until my house goes up for sale in a public auction by my lender.  No one is as surprised as me to learn that my foreclosure date was set for March 3^rd,… Read full post »

[Talented psychic please insert number here] days remain until my house is foreclosed upon.  I’m standing in line for tickets to what promises to be the foreclosure event of the season.   I’ve been standing in line for months and have no idea when I’ll reach the ticke… Read full post »

I no longer have any idea how many days remain until my house is foreclosed upon by Bank of America.  What a weird lender they are losing all of this money with their backwards bureaucracy of dealing with homeowners unable to make their mortgage payments.  I’ve spent the past year… Read full post »

Yes, I’m still in my house and no, I haven’t spoken to the lender about what’s going on.  That’s my current game plan and I’m sticking to it.  Like many a concerned citizen I tuned into President Obama’s State of the Union Address last night in hopes of s… Read full post »

Today I was in a pretty good mood and about an hour or two into the elation it began to feel monotonous.  The best cure for such happiness is usually a phone call to my lender.  I still haven’t bothered to call Bank of America to find out the details of… Read full post »

I have no idea how many days remain until my lender, Bank of America, forecloses on my house and boots me out.  My house no longer exists on their website that handles foreclosure auction sale dates and postponements so there’s no telling what is going on.  A public auction of my… Read full post »

For the first time since I started this blog I am unable to write my usual lead in of “[BLANK] days remain until my house is foreclosed upon.”  Whew.  I was getting so sick of trying to find ways to freshen up that statement for every entry.  Yesterday, January 4^th, my… Read full post »

20 days remain until a public short sale of my house changes the title out of my name and into Bank of America’s… which is Bank of America.  I know, what a dumb name for an owner.  I like mine better but at this point there’s nothing I can do to… Read full post »

28 days remain until my house is foreclosed upon.  The lack of communication on the part of my lender, Bank of America, in regards to a predictable timetable for this calamity causes me to wander around the house with a certain sense of paranoia.  “They’re comin’ for ya wh… Read full post »

32 long days remain until my house is foreclosed in a public auction.  With the recent postponement I’m officially cleared to pull my wallet from the back tarmac of my pants and RSVP a flight home for the holidays.  The timing couldn’t be better considering airline ticket prices… Read full post »

35 days remain until my house is to be foreclosed upon.  Last Tuesday, one day before my house was to be liquidated at a public auction sale, I received yet another postponement of foreclosure from my lender.  It is now set to take place on January 4^th, 2010.  I’m on… Read full post »

Today my house was to be foreclosed upon in a public auction sale.  Until yesterday afternoon I wasn’t certain whether Thanksgiving morning would find me filling cardboard boxes with my belongings and swathing glassware in bubble wrap or making mashed potatoes and kneading dinner roll doug… Read full post »

One week remains until my house is foreclosed upon a public auction sale in the morning on November 25^th.  I’ve become rather nonchalant about the matter until the thought of being tossed out on my ear by the sheriff lit a fire under my ass over the past few days to… Read full post »

17 days remain until my house is allegedly foreclosed upon.  I say “allegedly” because I’ve been duped twice already and while I might be somewhat of a fool, I’m not unpacking the boxes I’ve already packed.  I want to be ready when foreclosure comes calling. &n… Read full post »
