"ATLANTA, Ga. —

A 103-year-old woman and her 83-year-old daughter were just moments from being evicted from their home Tuesday, when sheriff's deputies and the moving company hired by the bank decided not to go through with the action.

Channel 2's Ryan Young was there when the family started thanking God for the miracle.

At just three weeks shy of her 104th birthday, Vita Lee has shared her home on Penelope Road in Northwest Atlanta with her daughter for 53 years."

1. Gee, I wish some pro bono attorney could find a "bad" signature on those

forclosure documents, to push this back a bit further.

2. Those deputies are gonna be in some deep shit. They answer to the banksters/1%

They're not supposed to administer justice.

Pepper gas?

That's different!

3. The way it should be... K&R n/t

4. Good for them!

Refusing an immoral order creates more heroes than just following orders does, that's for sure. I hope this family gets to stay permanently.

5. Good to hear but what kind of mortgage could they have?

Never heard of anything with 50+ year terms.??

6. Maybe reverse mortgage?

...to fix the house up or something? (FWIW I think they're scams, but...)

8. No.

A reverse mortgage pays you out of equity, you don't make payments, they make payments to you.


A fix up the house loan would be a second mortgage or a line of equity, or an equity loan.


That's what I'm thinking, they took out a loan to consolidate debt, do repairs, pay medical bills, help out a family member, or any number of other things.

7. People refinance, get equity loans, maybe they put a grandkid through school or helped...

...out a loved one.

Or maybe they had to take out a loan for medical expenses.

Or they haven't lived there all that long to begin with.

Just because they're old doesn't mean everything is paid for.

9. the OP said they had lived there for 53 years.

I hope they find the help they need to stay there.

[NYC_SKP]

10. Me, too. Of course you can live in a place for 53 years and keep refinancing it.

My aunt kept doing that to bail out one kid after another.

Nice old soul.

11. This part in the article makes my blood boil:

"For now, Lee remains in the home. State Senator Vincent Fort told Young on Wednesday that the loan is held by Deustche Bank but is being serviced locally by Chase. Family members said they had enough money to pay the loan, but were having a difficult time getting Chase to accept a payment."
