Please don’t let this spoil your Memorial Day weekend. After all, Memorial Day is when we pay tribute to our service men and women that have departed this life, and not the ones that are alive and protecting us now.
And if duty calls, and an active serviceman cannot sell his house due to a depressed market, and is forced to leave to a new assignment in a distant place, don’t give a second thought to the fact that your department has had an offer on the property in their hands for over two months, and yet no one in your department has even bothered to look at it.
And never mind that Monday is a holiday, and Tuesday is the first Tuesday of the month, and that your company will be forced to buy the property back on the court house steps for way too much money due to your inaction.
And try not to think about the fact that you had the opportunity to do the right thing and yet you chose to put your own holiday plans ahead of the interests of your customer, your company, and your country.
Have a great weekend but don’t overdo it. I suspect that you will have plenty more free time in the near future.

Unfortunately, Mr. Director of Loss Mitigation really doesn't care.
Great post!
Richard, this is so sad. I hope you sent this directly to the perpetrator and his superiors. And the local department of veteran affairs. I have a couple of names and numbers if you want to email me. I've had a similar issue. See my post http://activerain.com/blogsview/1574643/letter-to-vice-president-biden-finally-results-in-closed-short-sale.
Don't let the sale stop you from trying. Sometimes they can be reversed, particulalry if it is the lender buying it back. Good luck.
Good evening Richard,
Unfortunately for all of us Mr. Director of Loss Mitigation really doesn't care!! Isn't that sad??
Hi Richard, Great post on reinforcing the need to remember our past servicemen and to make sure that the current Directors of Loss Mitigation are truly doing their jobs... ;>))
I think that the holders of the mortgage have the right to do what ever they want to do, but why did they make us jump through all of the hoops, make all of the calls, and keep the buyers on hold if they were not even going to consider the offer?
could be that the sale will be postponed Tuesday morning at the last minute. Not uncommon, I hear
Richard, They are not listening,We hear what you are saying but the other side is off already.
I guess they just make you go through the hoops to look like they are doing their jobs.
Richard: It's shameful the way the banks are letting so many fall through the cracks right now. There are more failures than successes. Love the picture of the flag. I can almost hear it flapping in the breeze.
Richard ~ This post almost makes me want to cry. Only you could have written this so brilliantly. I hope YOU have a blessed Memorial Day. I know you will not give up with your clients, friends and family.
Sad. Really Sad.
Have a Happy Memorial Day Richard! I'm off to spend a week with my family in Montana!
Too true, Richard. Well written but unlikely to reach the Director of Loss Mitigation. I'm sure he took off early today to get a start on the holiday weekend. Thanks for at least trying to help our soldiers, Richard.
It is a sad fact that the folks on the other end of the phone line really don't give a crap. Sad.
I do not understand why any service person has to be put in this position. If they serve they should not have to worry about the mortgage. Don't you think that is the least we can do for these brave people?
Richard, are you kidding me? You cannot be serious. This story should be with the newspaper, with a new channel. I thought that when the men and women were overseas the house could not be foreclosed on.
Richard, please, call the news people, have them go to the auction.
I want to say more, but I will behave like a civilized person here. Wait till I leave the room though.
Great post! And sad that the banks are treating people this way. But to think that they would do so to anyone who is fighting for our country's freedoms... THAT is unforgiveable!
Great post Richard. Sadly the buffoons handling the paperwork are both deaf and blind...
Helping you help others live their American dream...
Sounds like a good case for a VA Compromise Sale.
I would go to every news station about this until someone listens and someone will!
Good morning my friend, you make a great point. These companies need to get their response time moving along faster.
I hope Mr. Director of Loss Mitigation gets ants in his potato salad this weekend . . .
