real estate: To Trash The House or Not To Trash The House...That Is...a no brainer! - 06/06/12 04:20 PM
Awhile back I blogged about a San Diego Police Officer and his wife who had trashed their home in Winchester after being foreclosed upon.  They had been arrested and were awaiting trial for that case.  Recently, the jury in their case found them Guilty of Defrauding a Bank and causing damages and losses of more than $65,000.
I had been following the story with great interest for a number of reasons.  First of all, because I'm a former Deputy Sheriff & former Police Officer, I have always felt cops were to be held to a higher standard of honesty and integrity.  … (2 comments)

It's always embarrasing to try to pay a bill and find out that you don't have enough money in the account to cover it.  But it is equally, if not more embarrasing to be told that in front of several people, including friends.
This happened to me just recently and I felt compelled to warn others to check with their banks so the same doesn't occur to you.
I had a full basket of groceries and was in line to pay.  The line behind me was quite long and as the check out clerk wrapped up her scanning duties and totaled … (5 comments)

One the largest foreclosure attorney firms in Florida is accused of bribing workers to rush thousands of foreclosures through. Witnesses say an office manager at the law firm of David Stearn was signing away people’s homes in exchange for cars, money and jewelry.
This allegation has been pending for quite some time and has reemerged amidst the “Robo-signer” issue I blogged about previously where employees of bank owned mortgage service companies are accused of rubberstamping foreclosures thru at an alarming rate without even reviewing the files. The “robo-signer” issue is thought to be an administrative negligence issue and not so much … (7 comments)
