Ireceived a call to my radio show just before the end of the year. It was from a woman who had just opened her mail to find a letter from the bank stating that it was starting foreclosure proceedings She told me how she had lost her job and used up all her savings to keep making her mortgage, home equity line of credit, and credit card payments each month.
