Well ****!

Y'all ain't gonna believe this ****.

Went to closing today. It turns out the house is in the name of 4 people, all family from Columbia (the country, not the city.)

Only one of them spoke English, the 16 year old daughter (she's not one of the owners, but acted as their mediator). Apparently they had a restaurant they closed in August 2007 and never told the state they closed it, so they were charged interest and fees since then on $3,000 in taxes (on the business) they never paid. That number has now balooned to over $12K. They would have still come out of closing with $, but the lady was very emotional and wouldn't close until this was taken care of. Like I give a **** if you ****ed up and didn't pay your damn taxes. The attorney's office even offered to hold their money in escrow for them to resolve the issue (they said they paid this months ago) and we could close, but they wouldn't do it.

I am BEYOND furious. We gave them until next wed. to resolve everything, the bank was OK with that and we signed an extension. After that, if they don't close on next Wednesday we will have a legal right to end our part of the contract and go after them for damages.
