Reply #13: I am a retired realtor............ [View All]

I also had a Countrywide home loan which I paid off when I sold my home after my husband died. I know how things like this function. Thank God I was able to pay it off, because I'm sure I would have been in the same boat as Dan. I wasn't so lucky with my car note with GMC!! I asked them to refinance at a lower rate so I could afford to keep the car on my income alone. Their reply was....they couldn't do it. I would have to get financing from a bank or something and just pay it off. I struggled with the high payments for 2 more years, then told them to come get the car. I tell you all this because I understand Dan 's plight, and sympathise...............but what does all this have to do with Sen. Dodd???
