Fannie Mae has written off the delinquent loan of a 90-year-old widow, who shot herself twice when sheriff's deputies tried to evict her from her foreclosed home here on Wednesday. "We're going to forgive whatever outstanding balance she had on the loan and give her the house," Fannie Mae spokesman Brian Faith told CNN on Friday. Addie Polk remains in critical condition at the Akron General Medical Center due to bullet wounds in her upper body. Polk and her late husband bought the century old house in 1970 and she has been living there ever since. In 2004, Polk obtained a $45,620 mortgage from Countrywide Home Loan and took out an $11,380 line of credit. But she failed to keep paying the loan in the following years prompting Fannie Mae to assume the mortgage and foreclose the house last year. Before the shooting incident, deputies had served her 30 notices of eviction. |
