HomeVestors of America claims to be the country’s largest cash homebuyer and says it helps homeowners out of jams. But a closer look reveals that the company trains its franchisees to cash in on homeowners’ desperation.

Agreed. This is full on abuse of someone with a mental disorder. This shouldn't be legal in any type of situation and those in charge should be doing real hard time.

At some point if you are of sound mind I don't know if we really should be stopping people from doing things harmful to themselves. The goal should be making sure they are fully aware of the fact they are being taken advantage of. If we want to just jump in and stop it from happening then we would need to abolish all religions and the vast majority of politicians asking for donations as they do far more damage to a vastly larger number of people.

Unless we solve the issue of needing money and the constant cost of living growing leaps and bounds compared to income, these services exist because people need money.
