#Trump's VA cut a program that's saving vets' homes. Even #Republicans have questions

"Henry was hoping to get help from the VA Servicing Purchase program, or VASP. In just the past year, according to the #VA, it has helped more than 33,000 #veterans and servicemembers who got behind on their loans by giving them a new, low-interest-rate mortgage.

But last month, out of fear of the potential cost, the VA abruptly did away with this safety net. It was the latest development in a VA #mortgage saga that has whiplashed veterans between various enacted and cancelled programs and left thousands in fear of losing their homes. There are about 80,000 #vets in the U.S. behind on their mortgages and heading toward #foreclosure, according to data from ICE Mortgage Technology."

Thousands of veterans face foreclosure after Trump's VA ends key mortgage program

"The U.S. #DepartmentOfVeteransAffairs, as of Thursday, has ended a new #mortgage-rescue program that so far has helped about 20,000 veterans avoid #foreclosure and keep their homes.

The move leaves millions of military #veterans with far worse options than most other American homeowners if they run into trouble paying their home loans. And it comes at a time when nearly 90,000 #VA loans are seriously past due, with 33,000 of those already in the foreclosure process, according to the data and analytics firm ICE."

Today in Labor History January 4, 1933: Angered by increasing farm foreclosures, members of Iowa's Farmers Holiday Association threatened to lynch banking representatives and law officials who instituted foreclosure proceedings for the duration of the Depression. In April, 600 farmers battled the sheriff and his deputies to prevent a foreclosure. A group of farmers dragged a district judge from his chair, put a rope around his neck, and threatened to hang him unless he promised not to issue any more eviction notices. They stripped him naked, beat him, smeared him with grease, and jerked from the ground by the noose until he lost consciousness. Once revived, they told him to pray, and raised him again from the ground by the noose. That same month, state officers in Crawford County were beaten, prompting the Iowa governor to declare martial law in three counties and send in the National Guard. During the farmers’ strike, the refused to sell their products. “We’ll eat our wheat and ham and eggs. Let them [the bankers] eat their gold.” They called their strike the “farmers holiday” and their movement the Farmers Holiday Association. One of the leaders, Milo Reno, said they were being “robbed by a legalized system of racketeering.” He also said that the farmers might have to “join hands with those who favor the overthrow of government. . . You have the power to take the great corporations. . . shake them into submission.”

This was just one of many violent movements rebelling against capital during the Great Depression. In 1934, there were General Strikes in Toledo, Minneapolis, and San Francisco, in which workers fought back against police, vigilantes, and National Guards with sticks, clubs, bottles and rocks. Police shot and killed 2 strikers each in the San Francisco, Toledo, and Minneapolis General Strikes. There were bloody strike waves among textile workers all along the Eastern Seaboard, though the overwhelming majority of violence was perpetrated against them by cops and vigilante thugs, with at least 18 workers killed and over 160 injured. But this militancy, solidarity, and willingness of workers to confront the state’s legalized violence against them were major influences on the implementation of New Deal reforms by President Roosevelt, including the Wagner Act, which created the National Labor Relations Board.

Unfortunately, that's not the way the law works. You need to present your case in the right way at the right time. And if you don't know how to do that, you need to find someone who knows how to solve the problem you have.

Get help, get help fast, and most importantly, get the right help. Or you might find yourself like this woman, who's spent the last six years trying to fight a battle she already lost.

Six years later, there's no way she's going to get her home back, no matter how badly she thinks the bank took advantage of her.

The lesson? Get the right help at the right time.

Too many people underestimate the damage the courts can do to them if they don't handle their case properly. Too many think they can go in and just "tell their story" and everything will be fine.

The lawyer she hired didn't know anything about foreclosure law. He filed the bare minimum, but really had no idea how to help her.

And so she lost the court case in 2018.

But today, she still believes she didn't even have a mortgage. Maybe she's right, maybe she's not—but the time to make that argument was back in 2016, 2017, or even parts of 2018.

But no one did.

She lost her house in 2018, and she still hasn't given up.

Even now, she's hoping there's still some way she can undo a six-year-old court decision.

That was the heartbreaking call I had this morning. Back in 2016, just a year after losing her husband, this woman got sued by the bank to foreclose on her house.
