Hi Lesa,(posted 8025 days ago)Your posting above may have been made with all good intentions but I am afraid I take great exception to it.(and please note I am NOT spewing hatred!)
Why do I take exception too it? Well A) Because it blandly explains away the deliberate predatory actions of others as mistakes and B) It spouts the well used and exceedingly well discredited maxim of "you have only yourself to blame if things go wrong"
Please exlain that maxim to the millions throughout history who have suffered wrong at the hands of others. The use of it in any form always makes me suspicious of it's intentions and anyone that lives by it.
In case you wonder, I too have experience of repossession. I though believe I was a victim. Oh, I do not deny that I contributed to the repossession but so did my ex becoming disabled, unemployment and the economy. I was NOT the cause of the shortfall trap which is the misery that I and other similar victims suffer. In my case That WAS caused by the HALIFAX deliberately undermarketing and underselling the property DESPITE my constant requests for them NOT to do so.
I will finish by stating that it is not my intention to insult you or anyone else by this posting and If I have done so I apologise sincerely. No my intention is just to tell all the repossession shortfall victims out there to keep fighting, DO NOT be persuaded by anyone to blame yourself without first ascertaining the blame of others that may have deliberately or negligently put you in such a position. If such actions by others subsequently prove to have taken place then use the rights given to you by law to demand justice.
By the way it is not really necessary for anyone to 'shout' on any posting to this forum by using HTML commands in their text.
