I'd love to ask one of those idiots how they think it's anyone's fault but their own that they didn't uphold a contract they signed.
Nice to see Yoshi coming out in favor of the little guy.
I'd like to ask Yoshi why he excuses clear fraud and willful deception by some of the worlds' biggest corporations, while he goes ape shit on EA for changing the way they distribute their own games.
I'm not excusing anything on either side.
edit: Maybe you meant to type "Eric Holder."
edit2: I don't like EA's business decisions, so I don't do business with them. I'm fairly certain that's significantly different than agreeing to repay $100,000 or whatever, not doing so, and then blaming the lender.
Having had the pleasure of reviewing these foreclosures all day for the past 6 months, you would be surprised how often they do uphold it and just get fucked. I probably found at least 120 illegal foreclosures every day for 6 months, there were about 30 of us working on it, and that was only for one quarter.
Easy fun things like force placing an insurance, pulling the money out of escrow, claiming there isn't enough money because the home owner was never informed there was suddenly increased fees. In addition to those fees that get tacked on, they can often consider the month's payment a partial payment (even if it is like $50 short of the $3000 monthly fee!), then not accept the partial payment. This allows them to charge late fees, and accelerate the case towards foreclosure. The most common issue that accompanied all this was simply not responding to the calls of the consumer. Providing a single point of contact who just didn't return calls, very easy and somewhat difficult to prove on the other side.
Now I'm in sure some of these cases, the little guy wins. But not often, and the gains from fucking with the system almost always outweigh the punishment you get for fucking with it. There are some legit foreclosures out there, but there is A LOT more fucked up shit going on behind the scenes than you might think.
