A few years ago, someone wrote something somewhere (it wasn’t here – I swear) that if you were the victim of predatory lending, you could get a free house. Actually, I recall someone at a legal seminar (not here in Massachusetts – I swear) suggesting that it could be done… which sent some colleagues of mine into a tizzy thinking they could easily get free houses for people who were preyed upon by bad bankers. If that could be done with such ease, then there would be firms not only doing this work, but we’d be reading billboards declaring their success rates on the sides of highways.
