I have a weird one....I have a couple of investment properties that are being foreclosed on. Anyways, my daughter tells me today that her aunt, my ex-husband's sister, received a call from someone named "Jan" regarding my property in Homestead, FL (my foreclosures are in Homestead). My ex-SIL explained that I was her brother's ex-wife, and she was told that I had supposedly listed her as a reference/contact person. Now here is the even weirder part, my ex-husband and I have been divorced for over 16 years now, and I have never ever ever used my ex-sister in law for any type of reference on anything ever, not recently, and not even when my ex and I were together....she was about 10 years old when we got divorced! In fact, my ex-SIL just moved to a new home about 3 months or so ago, and has a new number so how they got her number is beyond me! I don't even have my ex's last name as I have remarried -2X - since he and I divorced! Talk about weird! For the life of me, I do not know how they could have gotten her number!

In fact, it is a very big deal. Would that it weren't but it is what it is.

Yeah, but the bigger picture is (1) you can't really do too much about it, so no point in complaining about, (2) although everyones situation is different, this persons debt is related to investments gone bad, we all have to live with the consequences of OUR actions. She rolled the dice and lost...get a helmet.Originally posted by epiphany View Post

HHM you are obviously uptight and having a bad day!
Yes, they were real estate investments that went bad -I am sure I am not the only person w/this problem as a result of the crappy r/e market. Partially because of this, I am in the hole big time and will have to file bk. So yes, I do give a "f" who they call and am curious as to how they came about her number cuz I don't want every Tom, Dick, Nancy, Jane, and Harry that I have ever known or been associated with to be called re: my business!
HHM go drink a glass of wine and chill the "f" out!
