Foreclosure victims begin receiving pitiful checks yesterday...guess what? insufficient funds [View all]

What a joke this is ..I know the checks started going out on Friday and many received checks yesterday so I read the comments section to discover that the checks sent out have insufficient funds. Insult to injury. I cant even begin to describe the anger. Homeowners will get 3.6 billion in cash payments and the independent review consultants who made $1500 an hour got 2 billion for less than 2 years of work which was scrapped as incompetent and poorly managed..
just when you think it cant get worse..
it does
the original news article is from The Nation but reposted at this site with comments from people who received checks but could not deposit due to insufficient funds
