Metro homeowners who signed up for quick cash say they didn’t know about 40-year commitment | WSB-TV 

You'll be surprised at how many senior citizens talk to telemarketers just to have someone to talk to..

Agree 100% 👍🏾

only answer calls from people you know

Better yet, don't pick up the phone if it's someone you don't know.

That’s why I don’t answer the phone!

facts

I have contacted my Texas AG Ken Paxton. Dealing with this horrible company in Texas right now. They contacted and coerced my elderly father last year. Now he has passed away. What an absolute nightmare.

Get paperwork a good reading. 😂 No empathy.

don’t go for anyone that approach you

@@GothBatty You apparently don't know any elderly people. I hope you'll help your own parents when they can't process info so quickly anymore

It's legal bc it was their choice to sign something they didn't read or understand. Most people do this, but it's still stupid af

@@An0nymous_L0gic per your comment it's stated in the news report that the company buys loan applications from outside sources. Sooo it's not just these two people, there are thousands of victims.

It's legal because it's done by the government and the government monopolizes violence. Remember if you don't comply they come point a gun at you and throw you in jail or evict you and put you on the street.

@@An0nymous_L0gic you’re an idiot this probably isn’t legal lmao

Just scamming

Ppl also need to pay attention about accepting money without reading.

@@FaithandNova what you said is the main thing

They just have to rename Corp and be held unaccountable

People would rather hire lawyers and go on tv than just read it first.

@@hon.mr.ronburgundyiiiesq.2096 No people would rather that that cash they desperately need than go hungry another week. This scam preys on people who are desperate enough to not read the fine print. You've got to be delusional to think anyone did this on purpose to get 5 seconds of fame on some failing cable news show.

People sign for 30 years so i guess they figured and extra 10 wouldn’t hurt 😂😂😂

People who will be dead in 40 years ect

My thoughts exactly… I’m watching closely.

@@PreparewithRealEstate Maybe time for a class action lawsuit against that company. They are clearly targeting communities of the poor, the black, the veterans, the map clearly shows that. I am very familiar with that part of GA. I think if this went to court a lot of people vote on the side of the people and that company would be lucky to walk away with the shirts on their backs.

Look at all the things people would rather do than read.

Yeah right. The government doesn't give a single crap about our vets.

Exactly... like if you leave no message then im not calling this unknown number back! I rearly pick up for unsaved contacts. People be scamming left and right. I dont really answer my door to solicitors either. Being a home owner people always plotting!

I was actually lucky as a stupid 22yr old buying our first home here in texas. The realtor and closing company were excellent at going over every page and making sure we understood what we were doing and what kind of commitment we were getting into.

@@lar-zd9rs Great stuff. Definitely not stupid getting your first property at such a young age! Keep up the great work.

@@officialmarcjenkins well thank God its paid off now. They even showed us how to double up on payments to where it didn't kill us. handled that mortgage loan by the time I hit 35. I just thank God I had decent people selling me this house.

It is Elder Abuse!!

I mean you sign stuff without having any clue what you're signing, what's the point of signing a contract

@@devilmonkey idk man when I was at the dealership signing documents for a new vehicle I read every page of that 12 page document and probably caused me to ask about 4 or 5 clarifying questions during the process. You sign a legal contract you better read it. Now website ToS are different cause those are typically just to use a service and are legally non-binding

@@programaticLearning ah I missed where you said taking her age into account, yeah good point. If the contract is one sided and they target elderly something should be done.

@@devilmonkey Yes my Father was 78 last year when this MV Realty coerced him into signing for this absolute ridiculous "Memorandum". This is actually a LIEN against your mortgage. He just passed away and now we as his children have to deal with this absolute nightmare of a company. He was duped.

@R Voit apparently, reading is a thing of the past.

Yeah but if you need a magnifying glass to read a contract don’t sign regardless . That’s some shady ish

@@BiancaVie people don't always have the eyesight as others do. That's why the use a magnifying glass.

@@anitakristensen4679 wtf are you talking about the attorney said it was so small she couldn’t read it and needed a magnifying glass to do so. I’m aware older people need to use one to read(my grandparents had to before they passed) but there’s a problem when you make the print so small no one can read it and then you target the elderly. That alone should let you know what these people did was criminal. I hope they are sued and punished to the fullest extent of the law. Did you even watch this video ?

@@BiancaVie yes I did, e times to be exact. And maybe the attorney was saying that because some attorneys will say anything, I wonder what her eyesight would test out as. And talk about fine print, look at products in the stores. Always read the fine print. They do make stronger magnifying glasses.

Older people and people of color. Typical corporate fuckery

It's horrible, predatory, & clearly immoral. I hope to God they all sue & win back ownership of their homes.

Then block the number!

And why didn't God just prevent this happening in the first place?

That's not very nice but yes. So much going even in wash dc.

Wow! Glass house🥴

Maryland…harsh language when you have not walked in these peoples shoes. One is a Senior the other Disabled. The Justice system needs to investigate this Company and file legal action against them. These people need “to be made whole” by this company..

@@casaugustine there are some people in life that you have to speak to in the ONLY language that they understand.

Citizens should have protections against predatory behavior on domestic soil.

Exactly! If they don’t leave a message, they didn’t want anything anyway

Especially if she can't read. It's not the company's fault she can't read.

@@Eastsidegeorgiaboythat is why the company is predatory: they knew the people could not understand legal paperwork. Any decent human would understand the notion of predatory power imbalance vs “oh well they should have read”-when the people cannot read. 😊

@@itsme-os1jb unless a person is a complete child or mentally unsound, there is no excuse for not being able to read, especially by the age of 65. Blaming your foolish decision to sign a contract when you know you can't read is ridiculous. Sorry, but thats life. Nobody forced her to sign this. I don't think it's predatory. They are just counting on people being uneducated and foolish enough to sign a document without reading it or understanding it at all. Frankly, I think they are teaching a lot of people a lesson. I can see if they were being deceptive but they weren't even being deceptive. All the terms were right there in the contract all she had to do was read or get someone else to read it for her. She is just someone who blindly signs things without thinking twice about it. I don't know who's worse in this case the marine or the old lady. At least he fully knows how to read, but that means he just did not give care about the contract and signed it. Both of them are tripping. All it took was for the news to read like one sentence from the contract for you to know that is not a contract in your favor. This is what a lack of Education gets you. The lack of a basic K through 12 education is here as a great example of why you should at least finish your basic schooling.

They would never have been in business if people would read.

I'm not sure how being taken advantage of means you can't buy a house.

Maybe because they bought the house from a honest person/ bank.

@@ShannonsBibleStudy meaning if they was smart enough to buy a house they should have been smart enough to not sign for $125.

@@FaithandNova Thank you

That's not the point.

I had to rewind 2x to make sure I heard the amount. Just ridiculous how ppl signed for lunch money smh

@@nackolas123 ..Yeah and in pointing towards an area,the north and west.

at of places dont LET you read it, they just show you were to sign. Its a practice that should be shunned
