LC in Arizona said: “I have an HFC home loan. Just had the interest lowered for 6 months, ok, fine. I had a personal loan from them 2 years ago, before this real estate madness got really bad. I haven’t been able to keep up the payments and no cash, 401-k, stock to handle it. Took a hit in pay a year ago. Now HFC is garnishing $300 per pay check.

And I am thinking of leaving my job of 14 years due to this. Or bankruptcy.”
