Then we have all of the other legal crap that would have needed to take place, that takes more time. Then we have the auction, that takes more time.

There are also usually ways to get a property tax deferment in most states if I'm not mistaken. And I'm SURE with city and county bills like sewage and water, you can work things out in some way as long as you communicate with them.
Basically I'm just trying to say that these places WANT their money, they don't actively seek to kick old people from their homes over $400. The old lady probably didn't know what the heck was going on or who can guess.
As far as my utility and phone, what I said is totally accurate but obviously they're specific to those companies and my own state. So I don't think we've disagreed on anything so far.
