Some of you think I’m crazy…

It’s come to my attention that many thought this when you saw me Monday night offering to help viewers with their home loan modification problems.

I’ll admit, I didn’t anticipate three days into it I would be sorting through 600 e-mails and phone calls. However, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to help even a fraction of that.

No, I can’t help everyone. We are doing our best though and I’m impressed by banks’ responses. Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America have all pledged to be a part of our Home Loan Lifeline series.

It’s impressive to watch the 9Wants to Know unit working frantically to put viewers in touch with the right people at banks.  We got into this business to tell people’s stories and offer them a helping hand. I can’t think of a better way to do both than through this series.

Please, spread the word… we want to help. If you need a home loan lifeline or if you know someone who does, e-mail us at blowthewhistle@9NEWS.com.

Please e-mail us:
Your full name,
your telephone number,
your address, 
your city, 
your bank's name,
the circumstances of your situation,
a list of documentation you have to detail/prove the claims and 
a picture of the outside of your home.

My first time a foreclosure auction...

I checked out the Jefferson County foreclosure auction this morning. It was my first time and there is something mesmerizing about watching property change hands so quickly and officially.

I watched a property start at $900,000+ and go up past $1.3 million. In the end, the bank bought this property.


What property was it? I am still trying to find out. All I know is that the legal address is Lot 4, The Meadows at Westwoods Ranch.

We put YOUR questions to District Attorney Carol Chambers

We’re all about trying something new at 9NEWS. I was on my way to interview Carol Chambers, District Attorney for the 18th Judicial District, when I decided to open some time up for your questions in addition to mine. Tweeters and Facebookers submitted the following:

@RobGsrh said: “Ask where she stands on 2012 marijuana legalization/legislation efforts.”
Anonymous said: “Ask why she wants to charge a 10 year old for arson.” (That’s the topic I was already planning to discuss.)
Our own Kevin Torres took the lighter approach: “What’s your favorite movie?”

We asked each of your questions:

I don't blame these people for being frustrated... I would be too.

You may do EVERYTHING right and still be a victim of this frustrating and scary scam. Just listen to these people tell their stories. And keep in mind, these aren't the people who sent a dime -- yet they still pay the price.
