There’s Always More to the Story…
02/23/09
As we found out the truth about Henrietta Hughes after her plea for a house, car, blah, blah, blah… we are also finding out more about the woman, Donna Hanks (see Thou Shalt Not Covet Your Neighbor’s House here) who, with ACORN, stole a house (they claimed they were taking her foreclosed house back as a protest). Michelle Malkin found out more details about this deadbeat.
Hanks bought the two-story home in the summer of 2001 for $87,000. At some point in the next five years, she re-financed the original home loan for $270,000. After which she went $10,500 in arrears (no surprise there) and as foreclosure proceedings began she filed Chapter 13. As part of the bankruptcy, she agreed to re-pay the amount in arrears thus, halting the foreclosure. She then proceeded to neglect her agreed to repayment plan and was issued a notice of default on nearly $7,000. During this time, she continued to collect rent on her basement. She had two years to pay back what she owed.
Are you disgusted yet? If not, I suspect you will be as more stories of deadbeats emerge while you continue to work and pay your bills and mortgage. It is people like this Donna Hanks that Obama will be bailing out with your hard earned money!
There is a bright spot to this story. The owner of the home that was broken into (yes, broken into; I refuse to gloss this over by calling it a protest) is suing ACORN and the ACORN official who cut the padlock on the house is facing a burglary charge.
The real “owner” shall have a legal leg to stand on. I would also slam an obstruction of justice charge on ACORN.
