Shocker, Remember that big Bank settlement
Remember that big settlement Banks made to the states to help home
owners under water on their mortgages?
The largest multistate settlement since the Tobacco Settlement in 1998.
http://www.nationalmortgagesettlement.com/ The funds are not going to home owners… Or foreclosure prevention…
Or borrower education… Or Fraud investigation.
Many states are using the money to cover budget shortfalls.

Tallahassee is the number one place for Boomers to retire!
Tallahassee is not a typical South Florida retirement town. But a
recent study rated Tallahassee the number one Baby Boomer retirement
city in America!
Tallahassee’s strengths were a warm climate, great health care, low
taxes, affordable housing, and great recreational opportunities.
Our lucky combination of being a university town and capital city
helped us make it into the top spot.
It is going to be interesting to see how this changes our demographics
over the next ten years. A link to the story at the Tallahassee Democrat

Wells Fargo Fined 3.1 million for abuses related to a single home loan!
Most local foreclosures I know about are the result of individual borrowers decisions or economic hardships.
This Lousiana case is different and the court is making Wells Fargo pay with one of the largest judgments against a bank addressing a single loan.
The Judge ruled that Wells Fargo improperly charged the homeowner fees exceeding $24,000 because of a computer problem putting his loan into default. Wells Fargo then applied his payments to fees and interest, but not to his principal. This forced him into foreclosure and bankruptcy.

$25B mortgage settlement with banks is official
Do you think those of us who have been paying our mortgages on time will see a dime of this money? Have our balance reduced or our Rate lowered? Way to reward the people paying for this mess. http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/housing/story/2012-03-12/mortgage-settl…

Complaining about your mortgage?
The North Carolina Attorney General’s Office reported Monday that they get more complaints about lenders than any other business.
This included foreclosure and loan-modification scams, mortgages, fees for late or missed payments, or prepayment penalties.
More than Cable Companies, More than health insurance, more than used car salesmen or telemarketers.
Choosing Flooring is Serious Business!
This story from the UK reports that a couple is suing their upstairs neighbors because they put in new Hardwood floors!
They claim the sound of their neighbours’ shoes on the wooden floors constitutes a “noise nuisance”, which has shattered their peace.
