MFI-Miami Calls On Wayne County Treasurer To Pull Cancer Victim Kelly Parker's Home From Tax Auction

"After examining Ms. Parker's mortgage statements from 2008 and 2009, it appears that her mortgage payments including tax escrows were paid to 1st Franklin Financial. The tax escrows that were paid as part of those payments were for the 2009 and 2010 taxes. The same two years that Wayne County is attempting foreclose on," said MFI-Miami President Steve Dibert, "It also appears that she may have overpaid into her escrow from 2005 until 2009." With Wayne County's long history of questionable accounting practices and the City of Detroit's financial problems, MFI-Miami also questions the amount of taxes Wayne County and the City of Detroit are claiming are owed. Steve Dibert explains, "Their numbers just don't add up and no one at the Wayne County Treasurer's Office or the City of Detroit can give me a straight answer about anything. They just want to play point the finger or shrug their shoulders."
