My bank closed that account.I called the gov. of the aging for help, and I was turned down.I tried to remortgage,& I was turned down. A men called & he could save my home from the forecloser I let him come up to my home, because I was afrad of losing my home,I just lost my boat.

YOU immediately need a lawyer to represent you.
If you cannot afford one, you should call a BAR Association, law school legal clinics, Legal Servics , etc., for a lawyer or legal clinic referral.
DO NOT DELAY!!! YOU NEED TO STOP ANY OTHER OR FURTHER ACTIONS AGAINST YOU OR YOUR PROPERTY.
GOOD LUCK
