Bill and Nancy, a disabled, almost completely illiterate couple, have owned their home for nine years. Scammers convinced the vulnerable couple that their home would be sold in a foreclosure sale; desperate to prevent this catastrophe, Bill and Nancy decided to sign the documents put before them. Due to their inability to read and understand the legal documents, the couple had unknowingly transferred the title of their home to the scam artists. Immediately, their home was refinanced and stripped of $50,000 in equity. The Northwest Justice Project litigated against these predators. Without legal aid, Bill and Nancy would be left homeless and unaware of their rights. NJP’s Tacoma office continues to defend this family’s rights and wellbeing.
