      Lol. Like the bank is transparent. Everything they do is fraud. The whole thing was fraud from the get go. They never gave her a "loan" they took her SS# and they pulled the money from her ss# fiction/Corporation mortiman master account. Then they slid her a promissory note across the table and said, sign here etc. They never gave her anything of value for something of value. They didn't even give her a check to endorse and cash. There wasn't even a reciept. There were no coins or currency exchanged in the transaction. They didn't even do business with her. They did the business with the fiction ( the all caps name ) they certainly never disclosed to her they were going to sell her note bundle it and turn it into bonds and sell those on the international markets. Depriving her of interest and dividends that are in her name. All while acting as her trustee and fudiciary. It's all fraud by concealment. Since they didn't disclose it, then the contract was void from the start.

    • @ang9968
      @ang9968 25 дней назад

      The banks don't have any money. They only take deposits, which allow them to contact the FR, and then the FR creates 9 times on that deposit. They steal from your unsecured ss# master/mortiman/Cesti que vi trust account, and then they contact the FR, and they issue the bank 9times on that amount. Can you SEE the fraud! Then they pretend like they gave you the loan from their pocket. Then they send the letter of credit you signed to the FRB for collateral, and then the FRB gives them the money to pay the seller. They sell the note, and it gets bundled and made into bonds and traded into the international markets. There is no debt. There hasn't been since 1933. I'm pretty sure Ole Dave is aware of this, but he is probably being paid by the banksters. But what isn't a bank out here!

      I don't necessarily agree with that.
      A family living in poverty should be a team focusing on bringing in needed resources to keep the family afloat. A family in that kind ofd situation needs to be focused on survival in turn, not stupid luxuries or other foolishness.
      Similarly, parents who have sacrificed their lives to nurture and provide for their family may need to be cared for by the children in turn.
      That kind of thing is relatively rare in our incredibly wealthy society, but it used to be pretty much the rule among many families.
      The novel "The Good Earth" by Pearl S Buck begins by illustrating such a family.

Clearly this young man is doing absolutely everything right (more than many more of us "established" adults are) and I find it hard to fathom being a parent who wants to take advantage of having a child that turned out to be more responsible than them.
      And you could hear it in Dave's voice, too. He's usually more "vocal" with his objections but he came across as being more of a concerned father than anything else on this one.

      I would also like to know the history of the ownership of this house.
      Did mom acquire the family home as the result of divorce?
      Assuming that's the case, I might argue that she got it as a means of housing the children after the divorce. Pesumably, the children are now grown and out of the house, so there is eally no need for the house any longer.
      If there ae minor children still in the family, some discussion of how to raise those children to maturity would be in order.
      Perhaps they should live with their brother or father rather than the mother....

    Had something similar happen. Mom didn't contribute a dime to college or living expenses. The second I had a real job after college guess who comes calling? It gets worse though. When my sister and I wouldn't pay her rent, our mom called our places of work to let them know "they had a problem on their hands". Now you see why its important to never discuss money. But if you don't discuss money with kids, then you make stupid decisions when you're young. I really think this is why poverty is multi-generational.

      It’s her choice in this case but she has to try and understand the meaning of going though with having a child at such a young age.
      She can’t fall into victim mentality. Nobody should push it on her. Sure it’s not her fault but at some point she has to over come this hurdle otherwise look at the consequences.

      @@bensondentalassociates8690 it sounded like the bank was calling in the HELOC... the only way they would IMHO is if she missed the interest payments for to many months AND she already took out every penny available.

    If she is in her 40s, she can get a job and pay off the mortgage on her own. If she is having a hard time paying off the mortgage then she can sell the house and downsize.

    So many women expect their sons to support them in all of their bad choices. I pray to God that I NEVER become one of those women

    Young man, please realize this will NOT be the only time she asks you to do this. If you do this once, she will come back again and again and drain you dry until both of you are broke. Please find help for her first and don't just hand her the money.

    Pretty comtemptible to have the audacity to ask your own son for such an amount with that being all he has, that he ACTUALLY WORKED for. Just shameful
    So she wants to derail his life because she can't get hers in order?

    I'm shocked to find people here who think he should just give his mum the money! Beyond delusional. His mum put herself in this situation, she's an adult FFS.

    I let my dad and stepmother borrow 45k to avoid paying interest on a loan and I regret doing it. I did get my money back but there's something about them asking me that didn't sit well. They did offer to pay a little interest but I told them don't worry about it. I just wanted to help save them money and I couldn't say no. But, to be honest, I really didn't like being put in that position. Idk how I should feel about it. I just love them. They love me. And I've forgotten about it. No big deal.

      @@LoveLife-oo9cz I hear ya. I let my ex borrow 3k and guess what? I never saw a dime of it even though she gave me a thank u card and promised to pay all of it back. Could've probably taken her to a small claims court (which I suggest u do) but it ended so badly and I was really struggling with life I just didn't pursue it. My current girlfriend got her vehicle repo'ed no one was gonna help her she was crying , etc so I offered to pay her vehicle off so she could get it back🙃.. I think it was either 6k or 8k I don't remember..she promises to pay it back..i guess I'll never learn my lesson. I guess the moral of the story is if your gonna let somebody "borrow" money expect not to get it back.

    How is she suppose to pay him back if she won't get a job? If he lends her the money she might still lose the house and his 50k is gone forever
