That same article was listed in the Chicago Tribune. And it is true, many individuals were overleveraged a few years ago when the rates dropped. They bought on ARMS and those ARMS are now coming up. Their payments are skyrocketing and they can’t afford them anymore.
I am in Chicago myself.
yikes! sorry, I wasn’t even thinking. :-[ thanks for fixing it and not deleting it though. I’ll be more careful from now on.
Thanx…no harm/no foul…
