Why I do this
I lost a home to foreclosure once. The next time, I beat the bank.
I know exactly what that mailbox feels like, because I've lived it — including losing a home of my own. That loss is exactly why I refused to lose the next one without a fight.
When the bank came after my house, I had a choice. Roll over — or make them prove it. I decided I wasn't going to just hand over my home because a letter told me to.
So I made them prove every number. Every document. Every right they claimed to have.
It turned out they'd made mistakes. And once I made them prove their case, the whole thing changed.
On December 8, 2014, SunTrust Bank recorded a Satisfaction of Mortgage on my home at 2104 SW 14th Street, Gainesville, Florida — the document a lender files when a mortgage is wiped out. My home became mine, free and clear. It's filed with the Alachua County Clerk of Court (Book 4214, Page 1882) and anyone can pull it. This isn't a sales story. It happened, it's documented, and it's 100% real.
That's the whole reason this exists. I've been where you are. I know the fear and the shame and the 2 a.m. math. And I know it doesn't have to end the way the bank is counting on.
