While this blog doesn’t promote underhanded actions to prevent paying legal obligations, we think the story of one couples actions to stave off foreclosure is most interesting.

As the story goes, the couple was served with a foreclosure lawsuit. Rather than turn over the keys, the husband hit the law books. Flooding the courts with papers, the couple staved off foreclosure for 11 years, until this past January, when a county sheriff’s deputy evicted the couple and changed the locks. They didn’t make a mortgage payment the entire time.

The case is believed to be the longest residential foreclosure of its kind in the history of Cuyahoga County, which is at the epicenter of the foreclosure crisis currently enveloping Ohio and many other parts of the country. Foreclosure actions are generally routine, typically taking from a few months to a couple of years to get the borrower out of the home.
