angela_n_huntOne of the letters in the mail waiting for me last night was from Countrywide.
They've denied our short sale. Say the buyer's offer is "too low."
Right.
Whatever.
I'm trying to not be sick.
Time to lawyer up.
At this point, as far as I'm concerned, they are deliberately forcing us into foreclosure and deliberately destroying our credit. They would rather get nothing, as far as I can tell, than something. They won't get a damn thing if they try to sell the damn house at auction.
I don't know why I bothered to do the right thing. I don't know why I bothered for the last fucking year. It's been a whole fucking year now. First with trying to keep the house and second with trying to be ethical and sell it, rather than have them foreclose.
I've filed complaints with the AG and the OCC. I've written letters (you saw one of them). Apparently for nothing.
Even if we go back on the market (because this just killed the deal with the buyer, if it's the truth), there's no guarantee we'll find another buyer. We certainly won't, asking for more money. The neighborhood doesn't support it. The comps aren't there, unless you look a mile away in the Beverlywood Association proper, where, hello, they don't have the fucking crime. More importantly, the house isn't in the Assoc... But whatever.
It doesn't really matter, does it?
The husband is for letting it go and releasing it, not considering it worth the karma to fight. We're moved and the sooner we're done with the house, the better, foreclosure or not, destroyed credit or not.
I...want vengeance and justice. I don't want to just let them destroy my credit. I want to see every branch of Countrywide burning, the ground salted so they can't come back. I want some reparation for having lost a year of my life to dealing with these people.
My husband has a point. I just don't know if I'm evolved enough on the subject to go that way. I don't think I am.
So. Lawyers now. If we don't have a leg to stand on, there it is. They'll let us know.
Anyone know anyone at the LA Times that I can talk to as well? There's no way I'm letting this vanish into the night.
So that's the update. I wish it were good news. But it's not.
Yeah.
Fuck.
UPDATE: Spoke to people and got advice/counsel. We've got nothing. No recourse. So, no lawyering up.
I'd still like to speak to the press, but I think I'm going to try and find a different channel for this energy. Something. Make some really angry art and burn it.
Fuck.
