There’s a Story Behind This Story

Once long ago I had a thrift client, now extinct, that forgot to send the notice of renewal of its lease to its landlord. In the end, it had to move that branch across the street.

Now, here’s a story that does that one better. You have to feel extra sorry for the poor chap who forgot to pay the taxes on the Wachovia Bank branch in Shoemakersville, PA and then didn’t respond to the tax sale notice.

Truth is, however, lots of people lose properties in tax sales for a whole multitude of reasons. Tax Claim Bureaus have created procedures that minimize the work and the risk for themselves. In the process, they create windfalls and tragedies galore.
