In this never ending housing drama, we never know when things are going to move in our favor. Some days, things go totally wrong, others, things seem to look brighter. Last night was one of these slightly brighter day when our friend and super realtor Barbara paid us a little visit and gave us our new fully executed lease!
This simply means that we can now leave our nightmare called “home” and start (again) afresh, hoping that this time, things will last a bit longer!
Sarah is so used to it now that half of our kitchen is already packed, the moving truck has been rented and I need to take care of various businesses such as DirecTV, cable, telephone and utilities.
Now, all is not solved yet and we still stand between the rock and the hard place. OCWEN, the “official” new owner (please note the quotes) still wants us out by March 1st and has sent a letter to our attorney to this effect. The major issue is that they still want to issue a judgement, despite our agreement and us playing fair with them, which judgement would be attached to our credit report, preventing us of renting or buying any property for the next 7 years… Not only are they trying to screw us on this side, but they also refused to cover us in the case of the “previous” owner (Trust Holding Co.) suing us but want us to cover them if he/she does… Laughable!
So our lawyer is still working and his cost has now reached our full annual budget for travels, trips and birthdays! But at least, we might avoid getting sued!
What a wonderful world we live in!
