OK, so the moral of the story is that if you are a deadbeat, don't move out until they throw you out.

No the moral of the story is never go near a bank.

If you can't afford to pay cash, don't buy.

No the moral of story is that I'm a scumfuck financial criminal.

Go near me if you want to be bent over and ass-raped by Satan while Jesus... That donkey fucker is tortured by Fallen Angels and can't help you in anyway.

I'm former chairman & CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase which own private shares of the Federal Reserve...

What more do you peasants expect from me?

I'm a scumbag and proud of it.

Yes, deadbeats who have congestive heart failure or a destroyed liver, who were deceived by a bank into believing their foreclosure was immenent. How come a bank that walks away from a house they are contractually obligated to sieze in foreclosure by terms of the mortgage are not deadbeats, but the person who they trick and trap are?

They both are deadbeats.

read the story, the banks are NOT contractually obligated to actually take back the house. this guy got a free house but it ended up a night mare. bizarre.

Five years ago, Keller, 10 months behind on his mortgage payments, received notice of a foreclosure judgment from JP Morgan Chase. In a few weeks, the bank said, his three-story house with gray vinyl siding in Columbus, Ohio, would be put up for auction at a sheriff's sale.

Ten months behind and HE's the Victim?

The 58-year-old former social worker...

Oh that explains it, most social workers have the social skills of a boiled peanut.

That's actually good advice. Far too many people move out when they are sent the foreclosure notice, but they don't have to. They should take advantage of the rent free housing the bank is providing. At the very least, protect the property until your evicted, and make sure you take pictures of the condition of the house the day before eviction. This way you'll have proof the condition you left it in, when the bank takes possession. If it's looted after wards, you'll have proof it not your fault.

contractually obligated to sieze

This article is one more reason why you absolutely shouldn't leave the home till after the foreclosure. If he stayed there, he could have lived for free just for maintaining the house... maybe forever.

Actually, you should wait for the eviction notice. Sometimes banks and investors give you a cash bonus if you get out by said date without trashing the place first.
