Foreclosed Families Turn Against Wachovia SF Branch [Housing Tracker]

In addition I must add that those three a holes above must indeed be among the lawyers we can now thank for the trouble we are in. They certainly sound like they have lined their pockets thick on the sweat and dreams of the American working man. Thankfully we rarely hear the deep hatred and bias spread by that group and they can continue to keep it close to their teeny tiny heart.

Foreclosed Families Turn Against Wachovia SF Branch [Housing Tracker]

The title of this blog is 'foreclosed families turn against Wachova ' and the article goes to discuss numbers. A short story to tell how 'dumb' people can be. Several years ago I wanted to refinance and over a few months the paperwork was finished, I went to the lawyer office to close. The lawyer repeatedly stated everything was just how I requested the figures to be. The lawyer pushed one sheet after the other for my signature, telling me what each said and I didn't really need to read them. I got puzzled at his speed and said, Whoa!! I picked up the sheet I had in hand and read ARM. I had specified fixed rate even though it was a point higher. The lawyer said with my credit I'd be able to refin. in a couple years and enjoy the lower rates for two years. I said no deal, pushed away the paperwork and walked out. I did refin. 8 months later with the fixed rate, at the time I had no justification for not signing because I really didn't know the facts behind possible ARM soaring rates. No one spoke of those possibilities at the time. In hindsight I can say I was one of the lucky ones, but even then the lawyers were not protecting consumer interest, they were most interested in lining their pockets. I caculated what I could be paying today, possibly twice my present rate. So, it not that people are so dumb, it is that many of us are guided by deceitful liars and modern day con artist who prey on the working class man and women who place their trust in what once were respected lawyers and businessmen. How unfortunate for us that we now need an MBA to buy a house, manage savings and investments and still have to deal with a crooked government, fed reserve, banks and anyone we could openly trust in the 'good ole days'.
