I am a consumer and also own multiple properties. I don't mean to invalidate your employment issues, but it's tough all over and where exactly do you think you can live and not pay rent/mortgage for 4 months. Nobody offers that type of payment plan but the Salvation Army. Do you think my loan company would decline to foreclose on me because my tenants are out of work. 90 days buddy...that's all I got same as you. Everybody keeps using 9-11 as the reason they are behind,out of money, unemployed. Now it might be true for the unemployment, but it also goes to show that while the good times were rolling, nobody saved anything. In the good old American way, we spent, spent, spent and never tucked away for a rainy day. Now we are reaping what we sowed. Sorry I don't have more sympathy, but if you can't afford your home anymore, you need to sell it or at least try. I see you blaming everybody else for what happened to you instead of at least taking some of the responsibility onto your own shoulders. Good luck to you in your endeavors in finding a job.

Sylvie- There are a couple of things I would like to address with you. First, this company deserves to go belly-up for the endless number of scams and fraud they've committed against innocent, prompt mortgage-paying consumers as yourself. They will get theirs as all of the assets of the company and its owners are stripped away as result of the lawsuit and FTC investigations against them, trust me. Secondly, however, this is not the President's fault. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but take a little economics and you will learn that the state of the economy is not going to rest on whether fraudulent companies exist or not. President Bush does not "allow" companies such as this to exist and in fact, the current administration has done more work than any in the area of consumer protection, as you can discover by studying or researching recent work of the FTC and Department of Justice. Several bills exist withing Congress to increase enforcement on predatory lending practices which are deceptive, unfair, and fraudulent. As all bills, however, these are taking time, but rest assured they will pass, and predatory lending will suffer a harsh, short-lived future. President Bush is your biggest ally right now, not only in the war against protecting your nation, but also in protecting your homes and credit. Thirdly, you have the ability to start rebuilding your credit. Contact the major credit reporting agencies and discuss the situation with them directly...do not settle for a contact number for the said company of Fairbanks. explain to them and get them to clear these "delinquent" allegations against your account. Require that they examine the infinite # of cases and complaints against the company to verify the illegitimate claims which have been charged to your name. They have the power to rebuild your credit, but only if you let them know how you've been hosed. May God bless you and bring this company to justice!
