It's been a long time since my last post and I suppose I should have been more diligent about writing things here as it is supposed to be a blog. Well I've been busy with what little bit of a life I actually do have left and I neglected it more than I should have. For those of you following the sister site to this blog at Save My House, you'll know that we have finally lost the battle. On

…I’m Cheryl the unemployed graphic designer. To date, no one has offered me any kind of a job, not even one as a correspondent. I don’t have to worry about what the tax rates are because I haven’t paid any taxes for years. I’m not worried about Wall Street or the stock market, personal savings, investments or retirement accounts because I no longer have any of those things. I’m not interested in

The "Save My House" web site was originally created on June 26, 2007 in an effort to right a wrong. The site is now primarily focused on trying to keep the roof over our heads while I search for a job. Please click here if you want to help us out by making a Donation. This blog was created so I could post my thoughts, frustrations and information and also, so that people could post their remarks

This isn’t a joke. It isn’t a scam. It’s a request, an appeal if you want, for help.The current economic crisis is not going to go away overnight. No one knows if we’ve hit bottom or when we will begin to see better financial times. Most of us already facing the loss of our homes are going to be joined by many more people who will be in the same situation very soon. Due to the huge number of

This applies to Wall Street, the Banking Industry, The Big 3 Car companies and a lot of others out there.When I was growing up I remember hearing about mergers and take-overs that were stopped by laws here in the US against monopoly organizations. Today as an adult there seem to be very few individually owned companies; most are subsidiaries of huge corporations based in far off locations. My dad

To everyone following our story, We have gotten a temporary reprieve on the auction of our home. It has been postponed to December 5th while our paperwork is being reviewed for yet another new program. To anyone out there in a similar situation, keep looking for help, keep trying, and don’t give up. I can’t say you’ll be able to save your house but don’t give up. As to our own house, we have 32

Proposal for Alternative Mortgage I would like to propose the following idea as a means to allay some foreclosures, keep people in their homes and ultimately help not only the Wall Street economy but also the people on Main Street America. The Alternative Mortgage would be available to people who don’t qualify for, and or in addition to, the HUD, Hope for Homeowners and other programs.

I wrote this because I’m angry and frustrated. Angry because the people we elected to represent us in decision making matters, people who are supposed to be more knowledgeable than we ordinary citizens, dropped the ball big time and they did it more than once. I’m frustrated because no matter what I do to try to get my life back on track, circumstances beyond my control make things go horribly

I tried to call CSPAN today about the bail out bill.I wanted to tell them that my husband and I are both very much against it.I did call our congressman.I look at this situation on a much smaller scale by comparing it to our own personal situation.My husband and I are facing the loss of our home to foreclosure.We didn’t buy a big expensive house we couldn’t afford.We were both working and we

For most people having their home foreclosed on is a violation of their life, it’s not unlike being broken into or personally assaulted. Unlike selling a house, which is a conscious decision you plan for, often look forward to because it can mean a positive change in your life. Our society doesn’t make the trauma any less poignant. Loss is synonymous with defeat and failure, it implies that who

Dear AnonymousRegarding your response to my last posting...and I apologize for the delay in posting it and this reply as well.I am obviously neither sophisticated nor a scam artist.

This is the time of year when strange and wonderful things happen. A time for magic and miracles, when the extraordinary becomes the ordinary.Over the last few months we have been trying desperately to find some way to save our home. While finishing the last of the college courses for my Associates Degree, I’ve been applying for jobs. We’ve got a group of Attorneys working on a law suit and

I really don’t know which is more disappointing. Loosing the house on October 30 or not being able to find 165,000 people willing to donate $1.00 to a fellow human being. I’ve contacted TV stations, radio stations, news papers, corporations, politicians, even people on the street. I’ve sent out hundreds of emails and I have to say the return has been really pathetic.The estimated population of

When did the word 'Creative' become synonymous with deception? In some cases it isn't even as subtle as deception it's outright illegal. I looked up Creative and found it was equal to words like Imaginative, Resourceful, Inventive, Productive and Inspired. These words all seem to imply positive helpful and constructive qualities. Deception, on the other hand relates to Scam, Scheme, Con, Swindle,

OK I feel the need to clarify a few things for people out there that are interested but hesitant to help out. This is a very complicated situation and it’s difficult for me to know what I should post and what I shouldn’t. I know I won’t be able to answer everyone’s questions but I’m going to try to hit the most important ones. I think the easiest way to do this is to create a sort of time line so

As I was reflecting on the 911 tragedy of six years ago, remembering where I was and how I and every other American felt that we had been violated by this attack on our home. That got me thinking about my own home and the people who, under the guise of 'helping' me save my home during a difficult time, have also made me feel violated. I am in no way trying to down play what happened to our

After months of promoting, submitting, resetting and getting people to visit the site. It finally shows up when you do a Google search for Save My House. And it shows up in the top ten!I still wish that I could get some media coverage. If not national at least something local so that I could get other people in Massachusetts to contact me. I just feel that if a bunch of people who were victimized

Thanks to both public and political interest, I am pleased to anounce that 940 CMR 25.00 has been made into a permenant law here in Massachusetts. This is a link to the Attorney Generals Site with information about the anouncment. It's a Law ! Now we just need to urge the federal government and the rest of the states to pass similar laws.

Finally! I was Interviewed for a segment on the WBZ TV 38 news at 9 PM on Tuesday September 4, 2007. The segment was on Foreclosure Rescue Scams and the people they victimize. They even mentioned my Save My House web site. I wish it was the 6 PM network news but I was thrilled to get exposure for this information in any venue. So Thank You TV 38 for taking the initiative and running a story with
