Topic Title: Household International Posting as Payment miester
This afternoon, January 25, 2005 we received a comment in these forums. It asked how a person can lose their home after the $484 million nationwide settlement. The comment came from Household International, behind the company firewall, on company time. It, and our reply, is reproduced here:
