The tragedy for this woman is unspeakable. The entity that pressed the sale based on the paltry sum, should be raised. It should no longer exist.

So in the end, home “ownership” is a fantasy.

My Brother-in-Law was a manager for the IRS. I remember him telling me that if an amount owed was less than $10.00 it would simply be written off as not worth fooling with.

"There is no doubt that (she) had actual receipt of the notification of the tax upset sale on July 7, 2011, and Aug. 16, 2011," the judge wrote. "Moreover, on Aug. 12, 2011, a notice of sale was sent by first class mail and was not returned."

Well! There you have it. Indisputable. First Class mail, no less. Not returned. If you can't trust the U.S. Postal Service, who can you trust? Case closed. Toss the old bat out.

RE: Judge OKs decision to sell widow’s home over $6.30 debt

If I did not read the article, I would have thought the house was in Detroit or Gary, Indiana.

In these places, the government will PAY YOU to own houses.

Notice that they sold the $280,000 house for $116,000 ... find out who bought it for less than 50% of its value and who they are related to or business partners of.

[paint_your_wagon]

Ma’am,

That wasn’t your house. Somebody else built that house. Somebody else made it happen.

Uppity peasants, how dare they ignore a debt to the Peoples Revenue Representatives.

[Fresh Wind]

Well, the original amount might have been $6.30, but with interest and penalties, your bill came to exactly $280,000.

Sorry, comrade, but the good news is that you are eligible for section 8 now.

There is very little JUSTICE in America anymore!

The deprived depths of out of control bureaucrats is disgusting.

I’d burn the damned thing down and crap on top of the ashes before I gave it to them.
