“I’ve heard of foreclosures, but this is going a bit far, don’t you think?” I asked my banker.
“Well, since your home was ‘under water,’ that is since your home was worth less than you owed, we thought we’d blast it to smithereens and collect on the insurance. That way you get 50 and we get 50…and we all make out handsomely.”
I couldn’t believe my ears. My upstanding mortgage company was going belly up as far as morality was concerned.
The ball was in my court.
What to do?
Play ball? Or go home?

I’m in the midst of a hailstorm of calls from mortgage companies wanting us to refinance with them. That’s why the subject matter. Glad it gave you a chuckle.

This must be my daughter’s mortgage company. They have no ethics or morals as far as we can tell. At least these folks are willing to share the proceeds.

Gosh! That’s terrible. I would hate dealing with a banker who acts like a used car salesman.

Thankfully, it’s fictional. Would hate to think there are scammers in the mortgage business. Although isn’t that why the economy tanked in the first place?

Dear Millie,
Sounds like a viable plan to me. I used to say that I was going to paint my last house with kerosene and then light a match. My husband thought it a bad idea. You just can’t work with some people.
Cute story.
shalom,
