OMG: US Army CPT looses $300,000 home over $800 in HOA dues while IN IRAQ

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Despicable? Buy an expensive home.....pay most of your mortgage and then stop paying the mortgage. See how long you own the home. It HAS to be totally paid for to be yours....:|LJS9502_basic

He was in Iraq and his wife was suffering from severe depression. Seriously dude, I cannot believe what I'm hearing from you. It's disgusting. You should be ashamed.

The last part is irrelevant.

I don't need to hear more. A $300,000 house was sold for $3,500 so that a company could get back it's whole *gasp* $800. That's BS. Anyone who thinks that's okay is a serious dick, and I have no respect for them. A family's house, especially one of a solider actively serving his country, is more important than $800 in a company's spreadsheet.

He's still responsible for paying his bills whether or not he's serving. Or are you advocating active duty soldiers can default on all debt and still keep the product?

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] You only have one side of the story. As I stated...and you ignored...he could have set up direct deposit. His wife was NOT diagnosed with severe depression. She just didn't want to hear if anything happened to him so she shut herself off from the world. But as usual OT believes one side of the story...not referring to you but in general....and believes the case. And I'd like to know how a soldier can afford a 300K house.LJS9502_basic

Well, I see you fully support this stance so I have nothing else to say to you except that I pity you if you really believe what you're saying.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]Why did he not set up direct deposit? It's their fault they lost the house. I was out of country and had all my finances in line.....chessmaster1989

I'm absolutely disgusted you would say that. How can you justify a foreclosure and selling a $300k house for $3500? It's despicable. It's absolutely despicable.

Here's hoping the courts overturn this.

He's probably getting his house back, since what they did to obtain his house was illegal to begin with.

... The end?

*peers around* The hell are you people arguing about in this thread? :lol:

Yeah, that sounds great. :D

[QUOTE="kidsmelly"]

To be fair the wife should of known after a few months. I heard and seen people in worst situations still be in the right state of mind to pay the bills on time. Besides she wouldn't open the mail or answer the door what were they suppose to do??? Pixel-Pirate

Not foreclose on a house owned by a military servicemen on tour?

That's kind of ridiculous. Like I said the military gets you prepared for deployment months in advance you go on tour. how to handle the bills, how to prepare the family for the stress etc. I have seen and heard worse than this and people managed to stay on top of their bills. I had a buddy who grandma's house got broken into and the guy shot her to death. He was not allowed to go back home because his grandma was not considered immediate family. He was depressed and paid all his bills just fine while on a boat. Another buddy had his wife call him saying she is leaving with his best friend and taking the kids with her. He managed to stay on top of things while in the desert. These are enlisted men I am talking about the grunts. The guy in the story is an officer a man who is suppose to lead his men by example. If some low level grunts can handle their bills in a worse scenario I don't see why he couldn't.

I know the excuse is going to be everyone is different when it comes to coping with things. But thousands of military family deal with deployment everyday without the spouse going into deep depression and neglecting the bills. This was going on for a few months the husband didn't once called, email, write how things were going? He was deployed but they still allow you to do that for a good amount. I find it hard to believe an officer none the less neglected to do so for a few months and if he did that's his fault.

No one made him sign that HOA contract he should of read the fine print. No one made him sign a contract with the reserves either he didn't need to be deployed. He has a 10 year old kid with his wife so they have been together for awhile he doesn't know how emotionally unstable she was for that amount of time. Maybe they should of discussed how things would be if he had deployed or else not join the military at all. Everyone has their sob story and the events leading up to this situation were not that dramatic.

That's a bit unfair...

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Yes and a 300K home can be sold for less than that when a mortgage is defaulted, when taxes aren't paid etc.

As brought up about 10 times before, isn't what they did, you know, ILLEGAL?

When did I ever say active duty soldiers can default on debt and still keep the product? Nice straw man, really convincing argument LJ, I'm impressed. :roll: Stop deliberately misinterpreting me. I said selling a $300k house for $3500 is BS.

Wow the laws in that state on HOA are terrible.. They can just send a couple of letters, and then foreclose the home? They should be required to notify them in person, or at least by phone.... There are many reasons why a simple letter can go unanswered. Maybe someone has a heart attack and is in the hospital, maybe they have a funeral to attend to in africa, etc. .. Secondly Aren't the husband and wife co-owners of the home? They should be required to notify ALL owners before foreclosing the home, not just the wife. The husband didn't even have any idea of the event till he returned.

nonetheless this is good education for me when it comes time for me to buy a home.
