Garnishing wages (and if there aren't any wages to garnish?) is better than a debtors prison.

Lack of wages didn't seem to be a problem for Alex and Susan unless they're secretly wealthy and it's a scheme to spark a reaction.

Well, at least somebody is as outraged as I am...
Thos of you who are saying they arent a thieves due to a technicality of the term -  . If you take something without paying for it, and it was not a gift to you, then it is considered stealing.
If you have money to go to Outback, and boating, and gambling, then you have money to pay your mortgage.
The good news is, thanks to asshats like these, the lenders have finally toughened up to where they should have been all along. Because my husband is not working full time, and only acquired his part time job 3 months ago, the lenders will not count his income as income, Therefore, for us to buy a house, we have to rely on my income alone. By myself, I qualified to a whole $100K. My credit is high (no credit card debt) but I have student loan debt. So as disappointing as it is that I cant look in the 130-150K price bracket that I wish for, at least I know what I'm capable of for now. So I can either get a home at 100K, or I can wait until I have some of these student loans out of the way, or for my husband to graduate and get a full time job so that we can qualify for more.
As hacked off as I am at these irresponsible freaks, at least I know I'm not going to be like them - because I am restricted to what I truly CAN afford, and not just on a dream.

Be pissed, but no matter how much you try to change the definition of the word, you're talking about people in a private contract who will lose their homes. Not thieves even if you wish they were.

Words have meaning. Recognizing that isn't a technicality; it's good communication.

Good. They deserve to lose their homes if they dont pay. Yes, even if they've paid 3 times the purchase price already due to stupidity in by refinancing, and just being dumb.

Has anyone suggested otherwise, at least for those who aren't making a good faith effort to meet their obligations and who are eating overpriced restaurant food?
