My MIL told me about this tonight. This happened not far from where my in-laws live. It's all over the news over there.

I thought it was great that the neighbor kept mowing the lawn for years! You know he wasn't getting paid!
What a shame no one thought to make enquiries, you would have thought foreclosing on a house would make some one go round there and look!
I wish I had 6 years worth the mortgage payments in the bank...
I don't understand how the mail wasn't "piling up", whether it be in her mailbox or at the post office, it should have been noticed that it hadn't been collected for 4 or 5 years somewhere, right?

Even then, the card should have expired within that time frame. Something sounds a bit weird to me as well.Originally Posted by Overdrv
but if it was a bank auto draft, the routing number and account number would never expire unless the account closed....
it is odd that no family (even long distance family) ever suspected anything was amiss, and like 3fs said, where was all the mail going. Even just 6 years of grocery store flyers would be an insane pile up of mail....
Agreed. I have everything on e-billing that is possible and even with that there is almost NEVER a day that there isn't something in my mailbox and most days there's at least 4-8 pieces of mail.
As far as the autopay, I get that because if it's a direct debit like you said, that doesn't change. If it's a new replacement card that doesn't need activated (this is how our bank cards come) the only thing that changes is the expiration data and some places will take it upon themselves to update the expiration date they have on file if your card shows as expired. I found this out by it actually happening to me with not one, but two different places and I was pissed that they could just do this without speaking to you.

When we bought this house, the original owner had been in a nursing home for a year or two. The relatives removed the mailbox at the end of the driveway in order to prevent getting mail.
Assuming this person had a PO Box, is there a rule by which anything that is not first class gets tossed?
