Atta Poku foreclosure case on The Daily Kos
The popular blog has an entry this week about the case of Kwaku Atta Poku, the Columbia cab owner who lost his house to foreclosure though he never missed a payment. (He refinanced his mortgage but could not prove the original loan had been paid off because, as Larry Carson has been reporting, "several key documents, including the settlement check itself, were lost by financial institutions.")
At last count, there were 62 comments. For instance: "This is beyond enraging" and "What appears to have happened, and tragically, it happens all the time, is that Mr. Poku's delay in taking legal action cost him his house."
