Associated Press ^ | Apr 28, 2014 5:51 PM EDT

A widow was given ample notice before her $280,000 house was sold at a tax auction three years ago over $6.30 in unpaid interest, a Pennsylvania judge has ruled.

The decision last week turned down Eileen Battisti’s request to reverse the September 2011 sale of her home outside Aliquippa in western Pennsylvania.

“I paid everything, and didn’t know about the $6.30,” Battisti said. “For the house to be sold just because of $6.30 is crazy.” …

Cheating widows and orphans is a sin that cries out to Heaven for vengeance.

I wouldn’t want to have been involved with this case.

“It says a lot that nobody in the building where this originated reached into their pocket and handed over seven bucks to clear the matter up.”

That’s exactly what I thought. NO ONE in the assessor’s office or the prosecutor’s office, no one anywhere along the line was willing to cough up $6 ??? Guess that’s a place I wouldn’t want to live. PA is utterly corrupt in any case.

What’s interesting is banks have collected millions on most modest homes which are 50 or so years old and have changed owners 4 times or more. The amount of interest paid on those loans is just staggering. Then add in property taxes. Homes are money consuming machines.

How could a homeowners association foreclose on a house? Did the people buy the house from the HA?

It cost the government more than 6 dollars to get the 6 dollars.

The government needs to eat its own cooking.

A general cynicism about the modern state of government could be excused.

In Texas, the HOA can put a lien on the house for unpaid dues and then foreclose to get payment for the lien. But it isn’t just Texas.

So, which one of the Judge’s friends bought the house?

Not entirely an uncommon scenario.

You’d also think that the issue would be adjudicated *before* the sale.
