I live as a tenant in a house that was sold at auction in June 2009. I was not informed of the foreclosure. However, the landlord was a friend. I had paid her a year of rent because she had told me she was behind on mortgage payments on 2 rental houses. Silly me trusted this woman that had been my friend for years.

I had no idea that the house had been foreclosed on until my neighbor across the street told me in later Dec. that someone had tried to enter the house. He told them it was occupied. Then my next door neighbor faced them 3 times between Dec 28th and Jan 8, 2009. She told them it was occupied and didn't they notice that great big Golden Ret. barking at them. After that I left a note on the front door stating it was occupied, with my name signed on the papar.

This past Wednesday I came home to find a lock box on the back door, water off, $20,000 of possessions gone. They even threw all my meds from my accident in the trash.But the killer - my 8 year old Golden had been removed and sent to the Cleveland city animal pound. Thank God the police office I got called the emergency number and told the pound have my dog ready for pick up the next morning.

That same day in the mail I got the court papers for the eviction process. Funny thing is, the paper included as evidence, they had written on the paper "Certainly occupied. Also has BIG DOG"

I'm determined! Safeguard Properties will get buried by this. The Cleveland Housing Court is already not real pleased by the foreclosure effect on tenants. I'm more than willing to start a class action. Include every bank that has hired them and every contractor they've hired, and those banks and contractors may just walk away from the company. They may even be willing to testify against the company to be released from the case.
I'm also willing to contact every government Senator, and Congress person, along with every possible news agency.
