It the past 6 months my family and I have had a really stressful time.
We were booted out of our rental home of 19 years because landlord wanted double the amount for rent. We could not have afforded double but did pay more and after the contract year was up, she gave us an eviction notice. Landlord made up a lie stating her daughter was moving in and up to today, nobody has lived there.
We were forced to pay for garbage bins to clean out our belongings and had to rent storage containers for everything else.
My father passed away while all this was going on and I was an emotional wreck. I was left with a small inheritance and we decided to purchase a house instead of having to deal with landlord’s anymore.
Once we secured a mortgage and gave them most of the money we had for a down payment, we started noticing things wrong with the house.The house has a dugout and the house is being held up by wood shims and a vehicle hydraulic jack. The house has a major slant and we worry if the house will sink further and create irreparable damage. We also got scammed by a man selling us a garage kit and he was to lay foundation, build the garage and wire it. He keeps putting it off and changing the dates of when he can come do it. This has been going on for 6 months.
Buying a house is supposed to be a happy time but we have just faced a very difficult time.
We are looking for any kind of financial assistance to help us through.
