New NY Times Leter
Dear Editor, I read the article in today's paper and I think there can be nothing as important on the government's agenda right now as the mortgage crisis. One person interviewed said that the victims are usually lenders that are able to write off their losses. I think he forgets about us, the borrowers. We are not able to just forget about things and go on with our lives. In most cases, we can't. Back in 2002, I was a victim of mortgage fraud and even though I did everything to save my condo in Atlanta, it foreclosed in November 2005. Everything bad that can possibly happen to a person happened to me. For the first time in my life, I was in serious credit card debt, and I kept sinking and sinking. Over 5 years later, I am still paying the emotional, financial and psychological consequences of this personal tragedy. I think that we, the borrowers affected by the mortgage fraud cases, should be heard. Now I have no home and I don't know if I will ever have one again. Eugenia Renskoff
