In 2009, I was informed by Citimortgage/Citibank via writing that they were foreclosing on my home. At the time I was several months behind, as the interest rate was 9.9 % as a result of ARM increase, and I could not make the huge payment. We tried to renegotiate and get back in good graces, but they would not budge from 9.9 %. We vacated the home, and they let the property sit for over 2 years, making us liable for taxes, maintenance, etc. and never followed through on the foreclosure with the Sheriff. The property was in limbo and I do n't think they even have paperwork as the loan was sold XXXX times in one year. They bore no responsibility financially for these expenses, forcing me into bankruptcy. I feel like they stole my home, my reputation ( resulting in job loss ), and my credit rating ... leaving me in shatters. There are still claims against us to this day ... and we can not seem to fight them off. Since then, I retrained my career, returned to employment, and we have rented a home closeby, and have been in good standing with the landlord for over 3 years. However, as I continue to reflect on what happened, I feel like laws were broken, and I was a victim.
