i wouldnt pay have paid either..would have let the bank EAT it..the home should have been paid for a long long time ago

This Guy has NO shame!-The Fast Track to Hell for this Nimrod!

Unless sonny boy is mentally impaired there is absolutely no excuse for this.

Don't stick her head in the sand, huh? What happens if the 101 year old woman wasn't mentally capable of monitoring her own finances? Anybody ever stop to think about that before they criticized the lady?

lets see if I have this right. Son takes out a mortgage on his 92 yr.old moms' ,in 2002. He lives there with his mom, cashing her social security checks and whatever other funds she has. He also keeps all the money they get for the loan and spends it on whatever he wants. He may or may not have told mom of the loan (could have had Power of Attorney and not needed her signature). Then decides not to pay a dime for the loan. Probly hoping mom dies so he can pay for loan with her life insurance. The son is abusive, irrisponsible, neglectful ad should be investigated. If mom gets the house back he should be somewhere else.

The son is to blame not the bank. Ignoring the problem wont make it go away. Do something about it. Taxpayers should not have to pay for his behavior. He took advantage of mon not the bank in this instance.

That's the way it works, when you borrow money you have to pay it back. I'm sure the lender was thrilled to get property in DETROIT anyway. Talk about a red hot real estate market.

Her son is a THIEF AND IS WORTHLESS DUMB #$%$!

We send money to other countries that hate us and a woman who is blessed to live a long life and probably full of rich stories of hardship and heritage that could enrich our lives with her knowledge...and she gets the boot...but the money that goes over seas could not stay here to keep her in her home the rest of her days...I guess she is disoriented...being shoved out of her familiar secure surroundings with all her things that are familiar to her....where is Oprah and Extreme Makeover ...who say they help people...let her live out her life with life time rights to her home...please who ever owns her home now....how many more years could she have left....God bless her....

The guy says he didn't want her to worry. Well now that's she's homeless, what do you think she's doing now?!!

What happened to her Social Security etc?? Did the son spend it and not pay the house payment???

Mind you, after sixty yrs im sure the bank has already collected the prinicple and then some on the house. She was prob only paying interest money back by now.

That mortgage could have been paid off twice in 60 years. Who was on the title? Did the son have POA? What did he do with the money? What was happening with her SSI? Someone really needs to look at the son, who is now getting "help" for being scandalous.

I wonder what would happen if everyone who ownes a home stops making a payment for 3 months? (and put it in savings) And then make there payments. Wonder how much money the banks would lose. Just a thought.

So, why did her son not pay the mortgage... seems like that was the arrangement from the onset. So we hear from another in the gimme crowd.

Do anyone other then my self see whats wrong with this picture? what mortgage lender will allow a 92 year old woman to take out a 40 year loan as if she is going to be around in 40 years to pay it back, she is another victim of the housing market meltdown, they were willing to remortgage or refinance anyone who applied without the homeowner having so much as a penny increase in their personal income because they would bundle then up and sale them off as toxic assets, this lady is well beyond retirement age, probably living off social security and a pension with no other source of income and they expected her to pay her loan by age 132? I'm not saying her son is not to blame either, you should pay your debt, but i think they never expected her to pay them back which leads me to believe that she was set up for failure.

This is why : You work hard in your youth and raise your offspring to do the same. Production. Own a home and retire. Success. This 2 step plan will avoid situations like this. And even if your offspring still turns out tobe an idiot, you will still be the owner of your assets. No forclosong on that. Hope this woman finds a way and the son grows up.

Where my Obama $$?

When you don't pay the mortgage, for whatever reason in the world, no matter your age, race, ethnicity, religion, or any other factor.....YOU GET EVICTED!

101 years old or a shiny newborn....no pay the bill? YOUR GONE!

While I sympathize with the plight of the elderly, if those thinking it is so terrible that a bank would foreclose on a home for lack of payment want to make it better, let them open up their wallets and make the mortgage payments!

We are in a major economic adjustment and bad things happen to both the responsible and the irresponsible alike.

Blaming banks for foreclosure is like blaming spoons on obesity! Nobody forced them to use a mortgage to buy a home.

....and the wheels on the bus go round and round, but those who can't pay their rent/mortgage go without shelter. C'est La Vie!
