I’m not talking about the rescue agreement. The headline says “Foreclosure Victims”. Foreclosure happens when the borrower can’t meet the obligations of their mortgage. No one gets a mortgage without signing a contract. If a borrower can’t meet these obligations and foreclosure results, they’re not a “victim” of forclosure. That’s not to say some responsible borrowers are not “victims” of some unfortunate event - illness, injury, unemployment or whatever - that leads to their default. But many people get in way over their heads because they take on payments they can’t handle, live way beyond their means or simply don’t read the agreement they enter in to. These people are not “Foreclosure Victims”. They’re victims of their own irresponsibility and/or stupidity.

Since that can been seen as redundant by some, I don’t understand why you are so hung up about the title.
