Ok Now that we got the wind freinds and influence people part out of the way. Let an old man have his say.
I been here only a little bit and have had a chance to look around ,in the corners,behind the doors and such. And I'm glad I found this place. So in the spirit of helping:
If your like me you worked and saved to buy your house and now the same pond scum that got us into this mess may take your house back. So you spend all your time worry ing and wondering and general depresssion.
Well there could be a positive to this to help get you out of it.

First of all no matter what happens your life is in reset. That means you have a chance to start over again. Either way.

So think about yourself (or you and your wife, or wife and family) and get out two sheets of paper.

On one write down what things you are going to do, want to do or change if you keep your house FOR THE FAMILY

On the other write down the things you are going to do, want to do or change if you lose your house. FOR THE FAMILY

When your done, compare the lists. Are their anything on the two that match or can you think of anything that would match.

If you can pick out those things which cost the least to do but will move you forward either way. If your finances can handle it spend some money to do them. If you keep the list and add to it you can keep moving forward while your waiting for those putz's to get something right. That way you don't feel like your whole life is on a complete hold and no matter what happens you won't be wasting your time.
It is also good to get the attitude that even no matter how much you want to keep your place that it is only a house. And you are greater than a house. Figure out how to GO GALT. Get away from credit cards,debit cards. Forget your FICO score. Buy only what you need. Live for you (and your family) The better shape you are in the better chance you can help somebody else.

For me I I have a hobby that I decided to make some stuff for myself and no matter what happens its mine. I also am taking the time to reorganize priorities and do some things like reading and small scale planning like I've been wanting. And there is always those little nickel and dime things that you have been meaning to fix cause you want to keep them. So take some time and do it. Move your self forward no matter what.

SOme of you can add to what I'm saying and some may not understand. Let he who has ears to hear go for it. The rest ask questions.

Lets keep a positive attitude and that will help beat these guys.
