Hello I have a situation that i need advice. I will try to keep this as short as possible without leaving anything out. Its about property taxes. When my aunt died she had past due property taxes on the home i was renting from here. The day after we buried her social security called to say she would be getting disability which would have solved her tax problems. Instead the county sued her and tried to take the house. I guess they thought it was going to be a win win for them but my aunts son and myself showed up early to the herring. The never even called my aunts name and when they said court was over my cousin went to inquire what was happening and after a heated discussion with someone not sure who he said that they referred him to a property tax loan company. A couple of days later he informed me that he spoke with loan company and they said it would be possible to put loan in my name if all the heirs agreed which they did. It ended up with me owing a 20,000.00 loan with an 18 interest rate which left me paying almost 400 per month. That was in 2014 i paid the house taxes in 2015. Then my sister went to jail and i was left with her two young children. I have not paid them since. And now i am being sued for taxes. I recently applied for disability myself due to an eye condition which has seriously diminished my sight. I looked at the tax role on my property and for the years that my aunt was sued for the amount that i had to get loan for they have my aunts house valued at 73,000 dollars all the years prior it was 49,000. I went up there and requested they appraise my home again after it was transferred to me which they did and the value is back down to 49,000. I also inquired about homestead exemption and they said that was taken care of I had no reason to doubt them because in 2014 when i paid them the exemption was on there. But the years i have not paid its not on there. I feel like they have totally ripped me off is there anything i can do to get these things corrected or is it too late.
