"They need to contact their servicer — that is the lender that they send the check to every month," he says. "That lender will work with them to be able to work out a payment plan. Where have I heard that, before? Oh yea - 2008. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I perk up my ears I can almost hear him snickering all the way from Texas. Can I ask you a serious question? None of this was a personal attack toward you. You posted a link to an article, presumably for the purposes of discussion. When people tried to discuss it, you assume the comments made were somehow directed toward you personally. Why (how, really) do you do that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
