"Rafaeli was notified that he had underpaid his 2011 property tax bill by $496. Rafaeli made subsequent property tax payments on time and in full—and, in January 2013, he attempted to settle the unpaid tax debt, according to court documents.
But he made a mistake in calculating the interest owed, resulting in another underpayment of $8.41."
They make you calculate interest? That starts sounding like a scam when you consider how easy it would be to miscalculate- and he's an engineer who you'd think has decent math skills.
Seems to me they didn’t have the right to the total $24000, just the tax. And didn’t the SC just rule on excessive finds. I would gladly give to a Go Fund if I see one started.
Something's not quite right about that report. I hate strategic foreclosures as much as anyone, and foreclosing over $8 is as strategic as it gets. But the thing about foreclosing over a minuscule amount is that anyone, including the debtor, can come bid at the sale and get title for the amount of the unpaid debt. The usual scam is to run up a zillion dollars in legal fees and make the debtor pay those along with the original debt, which can be extortionate. But the owner doesn't have to stand by and let all this happen. He has many opportunities, culminating in the public sale, to step in and get title back by paying the debt. Usually, the foreclosing entity has to pay any excess to the owner. Also, the winning bidder is not normally the foreclosing entity itself but some third party who hopes to flip the property.
I used to see this game played quite ruthlessly by HOAs in Houston.
Something ain't right- what it is, I don't know- I do recall shortly after the 2007 crash, seeing the paper of record in a county in NJ with page after page of tax sales, many in arrears less than $1000. governments have no more mercy than any other gang. I suppose if they really want an insurrection, this is as good a way as any, it has happened before.

I dunno... that sounds like dirty libertarian talk to me. He should have obeyed the law!
I get the tone right?

Even the unmerciful servant didn't seize the fellow servant's home!

The government is... not all that powerful compared to the true gods.
So why do humans tolerate being ruled by a bunch of chld pedo traffickers, corrupt freaks, and other unnatural spawns of satan?
Shrugs, that answer is not something i am smart enough to figure out.
