Exactly! What a cold-hearted beyotch. She's not even buying it as a home, she's buying it to turn a profit.

okay, I know I am setting myself up for some punishment, but here goes:

These people couldn't pay their bills. They were already in foreclosure. They should have taken steps to rectify this problem before the foreclosure process began.

Next, they should have done some research on the broker (the crook) whom they were dealing with.

Next, THEIR lawyer didn't do what was necessary to halt the auction. Again, another bad decision made by someone whom THEY choose to represent them.

And, finally, even if the house was given back to them- it still doesn't sound like they'll be able to afford to keep it.

I know, I know. I'm being mean. But, I don't fault the buyer. Sorry Charlie!

I do too. They didn't have the funds to keep the house. Still don't. Sad, yes. Unfair, yes.

it's a sad story- but I have to agree that they were already in forecloser and there is not much that can be done

they still got ripped off- but should have spoken to more then one person- esp someone who solicated them thru the mail
