I Thought I Bought A Foreclosed Property, but In Fact I Bought a Worthless Piece of Paper!

As you might imagine, with the nation in the grips of a foreclosure epidemic, banks are very eager to unload mortgages gone bad. They'll do whatever's legal to recover whatever they can from a foreclosed home. Doing what's ethical? Irrelevant!

The Strands were smart enough to get the media involved, which, of course, led to the bank suddenly being open to negotiating a settlement.
