Dear Mr. and Mrs. Radcliff:
Today, courtesy of Realty Times website, I read an article written by Broderick Perkins, columnist.
In part he writes, "The legislation had bipartisan legislative support after it was triggered by a Calaveras County couple whose $285,000 home was auctioned off to recover $120 in dues they REFUSED to pay for a year.
He didn't miss digging into AHRC either.
The American Homeowners Resource Center in San Juan Capistrano, California, a consumer advocacy group for those who live in homes governed by HOAs lobbied for the legislation in a letter to the governor claiming lobbying against the legislation was "riddled with falsehoods and distortions," especially about the financial impact of the legislation. Speaking of Mr. McMahon, "He lost the argument".
You can read the entire article at: http://realtytimes.com/rtcpages/20041007
You can click here to email Mr. Perkins
I am writing a letter demanding he correct his facts about your refusal to pay. He better get his facts straight as THEY REFUSED to accept your payment.

Dear Mrs. Radcliff,
We too have been subjected to these illegal foreclosures in our association, Stone Harbour, in Pittsburg, CA. I don't know how many others have lost their homes in this association because they couldn't come up with the thousands of dollars in legal fees beyond the several hundred dollars in assessments. I know we alone have paid close to $30,000 in fees to keep our home.
We have heard all the promises and if you would have just came to us and we have never foreclosed on anyone unless we had to by boards who seem to be oblivious to any law in California or have compassion for any homeowner.
I felt several weeks ago this bill wasn't going to pass. Homeowners don't have a chance. The Governors statments of he won't bow down to special interest money, he cares about the people of California, are just that...statements. I guess in the end, money talks and well, you know the rest of that line.
"Yolanda Benson stated that SB 2598 does not do enough (specifically she doesn't like the $2500 cap, because it is not enough); that she would like to see a more comprehensive bill pushed through the Senate next year". If I remember correctly, one of the Senators wanted to ban foreclosures altogether and CAI went into a tailspin. Instead, we settle for what we can get and now it's not enough? I don't understand. I wish someone in Sacramento could explain to me why nothing is better than something.
So it's business as usual. We lose our homes. The attorneys get rich. And the one person who could help us, won't.
I will write one more letter to the Governor. I will continue to write the Senators and Assemblymembers. It's just a shame so many people, Senators, Assemblymembers, AHRC, other homeowner advocates, and most of all homeowners have put so much time and effort into this bill trying to get it passed in hopes for a better future when it will all go by the wayside with a stroke of the pen.

To the reader who wished to know about our meeting with the Governor. We did not meet with the Governor; but we did meet with his aide. She was very gracious and hospitable. We felt heartfelt sympathy from her.
She stated that SB 2598 does not do enough (specifically she doesn't like the $2500 cap, because it is not enough); that she would like to see a more comprehensive bill pushed through the Senate next year.
This Governor's Aide is a very sharp and knowledgeable lady who has been involved in and around the political arena for approximately 20 years. Therefore, I am sure she's aware of the impossibility of getting a more "comprehensive" bill passed by our legislators who are ruled by the most influential lobbyists of the day. So, sad to say, we came away from our meeting with the feeling that she would not advocate for this bill.
I must stress that it is most important to flood the governor's office with letters asking him to sign the bill. Whether this will do any good? I don't know, but it appears to be the only avenue left to us.

Evan McKenzie, author of The Privatopia Papers has posted on his website:
So, the big foreclosure bill has been enrolled. But I heard a rumor yesterday. A California journalist who shall remain nameless told me that the word is circulating to the effect that Governor Schwarzenegger may veto this bill.
He is being lobbied by CAI and other groups, I am told. He has until the end of September, I believe. Stay tuned.
A veto would tick off the Homeowner Association activists to no end.
As I posted some time ago, Der Governator knows about CID living because he lives in a gated community.

Your family, and your case, is in my prayers. I have also written your Governor, urging him to sign the bill.
I've also been encouraging California residents (whom I know, to write your Governor).
May God Speed and give you justice quickly!

I am interested in the Governor's view of this bill when you visited him. Can you share that information?

In Florida we used to have the "Right of redemption immediately after a non-mortgage foreclosure.
This was supposedly reversed three years ago.
Under the old law,the homeowner while still in their house could pay.
And what does one do like in our case" They refused our monies"to pay.They wanted our house.
We now find that a year before this happened D&L Investments of South Florida was listed along with Pembroke Isles Homeowners Association ,Neil Black,and D & L Investments when the claim of lien was filed.
We now want to know why is this?
If we just gave up,we never would have discovered that the mortgage and loan was kept in our name for one year after D&L investments took our home,without our knowing they had no financing and was committing mortgage fraud.
We don't want anyone th have to endure the emotional pain,that these Homeowners Associations wreak.
See case : Case No: 02-6775(02)- Pembroke Isles HOA vs Hortensia Rodon - Florida
