A STORY OF DUE PROCESS
.
Do you know who has title to the house three doors down from you?
Do you know if the folks there are renting from the people who have the title?
Do you know if they had a mortgage burning party or if they are behind on
their payments?
Do you know if there are any liens on that house?
.
What happens when the Sheriff shows up with an eviction notice
on your house because someone flipped the numbers on the paperwork.
"GTFO...you gotta go"
And you try to reply 'but this is my house! I've lived here 20 years!'
And the Sheriffs says "not according to the paperwork filed by
<BANK YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF> "
"By the way this is final. There will be no appeals, and you MUST sign a
QUIT CLAIM right here or you are obstructing justice."
"Now Comply or die."; Good luck fixing it. You've already been evicted, the bank has paperwork
saying they own it, it's been published in the paper of record in your town,
and because you didn't move fast enough you've been arrested and the
whole neighborhood is blaming you for not complying with the police and
you can't do a damn thing from the jail cell.
.
WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!
But that's what Due Process is for...
it stops all that in its tracks and allows both parties to go to court to prevent
an injustice.
.
Don't let others be harmed because of paperwork errors
or malicious actors because you assume that the folks in charge will
never make a mistake.
