Neighbor's water in yard
Comments (21)First, you have lived there 54 years and enjoyed a water free back yard. You have established an eminent right of senority to continue in that right. Second, your not the drain pit for every other yard in the neighborhood. Pesticides, lawn fertilizer, everything washes into your yard. It is nusiance and can be considered trespass. It is a damage claim regardless what people tell you. Health issues, vegetation that is killed due to standing water, stagnent water drawing in west nile carrying mosquito's yada yada...not to mention that is just shows a lack of respect for you and your property rights which I am sure is the biggest thorn for you. Why did they (county or city) not notify you when they were reveiving the permit. If the county did not comply with it's own land use codes, and allowed construction to interfere with your use, they have been found accountable in the past. Your supposed to be able to attend the hearing review of that permit application and voice your concerns, ie: drainage. The county then makes it a condition of construction to install drainage methods before they approve the permit. It should have been dumped on the neighbor wishing to create the problem. Talk to your neighbor but be prepared that they may not care. Follow up that conversation with a letter expressing your concerns. Legally, if the county or city approved the work, they have done nothing wrong....on their property but if the construction caused a nuisance or trespass onto your property, then you have a right to expect to be restored the the quality and value of your property that you enjoyed prior to the construction. It is not fair to make your house the "swale" after the fact. Especially since you have lived there 54 years. It's ridiculous. Now, you can make a claim against their homeowner policy. My policy covers damage that I, my kids, my dogs, my horses, MY ACTIONS, may do to another's property. My neighbor stripped 3 acres of vegetation to bare ground and the wind blew soils and killed my trees and other vegetation. Their insurance covered the damage and restoration costs to my property. Talk to the neighbor first to avoid that whole ugly living situation. Talk to the county and check records. Your civil issue falls under nusiance and trespass. Third, good luck. These are the worst things to deal with is neighbor problems. Remember they are trying to exercise their property rights and build on so use that sympathetic point when talking about your desire to do the same. You could not be approved to build a shed in an area of unstable (wet) soils now so you've lost the use and rights you had before. They may agree to have you put in a diversion swale and their insurance pay the claim....See Morewells fargo 3 step
Comments (4)1st loan specialist (ha-ha) said nope, nothing has changed. supervisor, yea right, probably just a coworker actually admitted it had changed. seems WF was getting fed money for any loans being modified. even the folks with current loans with good payment history like myself. of course i can refi on my own now, and pay all fees. its just the lying that sucks. WF could just say, yes 1 year ago we did have a 1yr waiting period but now the program has changed and you can do it only once. so piss me off with made up stories or tell me the truth....See MoreShort $30k at end of Foundation / Remodel Project
Comments (6)Thanks all... some replies: - Hitting up family isn't much of an option. This had been my in-laws' house that they were unable to maintain due to age, disability and income; the project was to build out a ground floor "apartment" combined with foundation work. They're in it with us, and have no financial resources to fall back on. And unfortunately, MY dad recently joined the ranks of the unemployed, so I don't want to impose (he's been a great help to me working on the house, and they've graciously contributed financially prior to his job loss). - I don't want to count this an a rainy day emergency just yet -- we're doing fine living in a rental and we do have the option of ceasing all work and taking a break for a year (or whatever it takes) while we regroup. I'd rather have any savings banked for other financial hiccups, like job loss or true emergencies. Do any of you have experience with unsecured loans from credit unions, other lending institutions, or even going to credit card companies? Just curious if these are options. Actually planning on hitting the street today to visit my two CU's, and thinking a call to my credit card holders might be worth while -- as long as they don't get scared off by my request and pull our credit!...See MoreDetermining Price...(Thread #2)
Comments (26)In doing more research for the owners I've found this...looks like American Home Mortgage has resolved the Freddie seizure of tax & insurance payments issue. "American Home Mortgage Clarifies Certain Information Regarding its Servicing Operations Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae Issues Resolved; Property Tax Checks Mistakenly Dishonored by Outside Financial Institution Will be Honored MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2007--American Home Mortgage Investment Corp. (OTC:AHMIQ) ("American Home") announced today that it has resolved the issues surrounding the Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae owned loans. American Home currently services more than 220,000 loans, of which approximately 4,600 are serviced for Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. Immediately prior to American Home's bankruptcy, both Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae took direct control of the homeowner escrow accounts where the monies were deposited by American Home to pay taxes and insurance. Consequently, American Home had been unable to make payments that were due after August 24. American Home is pleased that it has now reached agreements with both Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae regarding these matters. -- Both Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae have made available the funds in the homeowner escrow accounts, and American Home has paid on the behalf of homeowners all tax and insurance remittances scheduled to be made between August 24 and today -- Homeowners will not be liable for any penalties or interest that may have been incurred due to late payment of tax and insurance -- In addition, arrangements have been made so that homeowner escrow funds will be available in the normal course to pay all taxes and insurance due in the future. As part of its agreements with Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, American Home expects to realize value from its servicing rights related to Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae loans for the benefit of its estate. In the case of Freddie Mac, American Home has agreed to temporarily transfer servicing to Bank of America, and Freddie Mac has agreed to allow American Home to sell the servicing rights to a permanent buyer. In the case of Ginnie Mae, American Home has been granted a limited period of time to sell the servicing rights associated with these loans. American Home believes these consensual resolutions are fair and should prevent any further disruptions to administration of the homeowner's escrow accounts. American Home further noted that this matter concerned only Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae; no other mortgage-backed securities portfolios were affected. For the balance of its approximately $60 billion servicing portfolio, American Home continues to submit tax and insurance payments on a timely basis. Separately, American Home announced it had resolved a situation concerning a limited number of checks that were dishonored due to bank error. In early August, due to confusion on the part of an outside financial institution regarding accounts affected by the American Home bankruptcy, approximately 500 property tax checks were mistakenly dishonored. This misunderstanding has been corrected. -- American Home has actively worked to replace any dishonored checks to date and stands ready to do continue to do so. -- Tax authorities that may have received dishonored checks may contact (866) 540-5834 to pursue replacement. American Home regrets any inconvenience or anxiety caused to homeowners as a result of either of these situations. The Company's objective is to continue to provide high quality mortgage servicing to homeowners." I'm glad they issued an apology. /tricia...See Moresushipup1
