  It's about time for this protection to come into effect.  I just heard of a young couple who paid $1,600 up front to one of these companies for help with their mortgage, since their lender refused to refinance.  The advice they received was "stop paying your mortgage".   Via Charles Gardner-Rea...

When I give a any party I tell the invitees not to bring any gifts, but, if they wish to do so, to make a donation to the USO - details here..  I then send all the checks to the federal center in Wa...
