Aeon Financial's trial did not go forward in Housing Court yesterday.
The trial date is rescheduled to 3/25/14.
02/05/2014 HEARING SCHEDULED: Event: CRIM BENCH TRIAL-HOUSING Date: 03/25/2014 Time: 9:00 am Judge: PIANKA, RAYMOND L Location: 13TH FLOOR COURTROOM B
Eight more families were victimized by Aeon Financial as they recently had their property foreclosed upon for petty delinquent property taxes and their property is now owned by Aeon Financial Tax Lien THIEVES.
I need to get your opinion on a piece of legislation. Please let me know your opinion.
I will soon be introducing legislation that will eliminate the ability of third parties to purchase and foreclose on residential property tax lien certificates.
In Ohio, when a homeowner fails to pay local or county taxes, the taxing authority may place a tax lien on that property. Once the lien is placed on the property, the taxing authority may issue tax-lien certificate documents, which a third party can purchase at auction. This is not a sale of the property, but rather of the delinquent taxes, which the third party may then attempt to recoup from the delinquent homeowner. If the lien is not redeemed by the homeowner within twelve months, the third party may file a foreclosure action.
Unfortunately, abuse runs rampant in this system, much like the payday lending schemes we have deliberated in this body. If the original homeowner attempts to purchase the tax lien documents from the third party, they often will be charged significantly more than the original cost of the lien. These parties often add administrative fees and additional interest up to 18 percent to the original cost.
For a homeowner who would like to pay his or her taxes and be a responsible citizen, these predatory surcharges make those actions far more difficult. These are often individuals who face steep financial struggles and have been unable to pay their taxes; 18 percent extra is a tremendous additional barrier to overcome for homeowners.
We must protect homeowners who may have run into hard times but who are making every effort to restore normalcy in their lives. To do so, we must ensure that the practice of third parties charging exorbitant rates to pay one’s tax liens is discontinued in Ohio.
This legislation does not apply to commercial properties. Furthermore, this legislation will not consider county land reutilization corporations – “land banks” – as third parties that are disallowed from purchasing the property tax lien documents. These organizations provide a vital service to our State, and we should continue to allow them to purchase tax liens if it is in their best interests.
County taxpayers are giving away several more properties to Slavic Village Recovery, aka Safeguard Properties / Forest City Enterprises:

Aeon Financial Tax Lien Thieves are getting away with ripping off Cuyahoga County and destroying our neighborhoods.
At the prosecutor's request, some of the cases were nolled (dismissed).
The few remaining criminal cases are scheduled for March 25, 2014.
Very disappointing.
