Quick and Easy Cheesy Taco Pasta
By Lauren's Latest on July 20, 2011
Featured BlogHer Network Post
[Editor's Note: So many of us rely on crutches we can find easily at the grocery store, but relying on processed shortcuts also shortchanges the health of the entire family. It's often just as easy to make quick food from scratch, which is inevitably going to be healthier, since it's free of preservatives and the high levels of sodium found in the non-scratch option. This Cheesy Taco Pasta from Lauren's Latest is a great example of a dish that's been remade so it's still fast from stove to table, but better for your family. --Genie]
Cheesy Taco Pasta
Need a quick 15-minute dinner that everyone will love? Well, I've got your back. This recipe was inspired by those boxes of Hamburger Helper I saw at the store the other day. I see why they appeal to so many families. It's fast, easy and you don't really have to think too much about it. Well, I took the ease of that meal, took out all the preservatives {and msg….eww} and made it healthier!

With training camp set to open for real on Thursday morning, the Patriots face the same amount of questions as any one of the other 31 teams in the league. We asked you for your top concerns, and in a modified mailbag, here are some of the readers' most important questions — solicited via Twitter — facing the 2011 Patriots as the season gets underway:
@pfitz7: Who is going to rush the passer for the Pats this year?
Even before full free agency begins, I can tell you that the pass rush will be better in 2011 than it was in 2010. (That's not saying much, I know, but stick with me here.) New England gets back some quality defenders who should significantly improve things. The return of Ty Warren should beef up the line, while Mike Wright's skills as a pass rusher remain underrated. Leigh Bodden, who missed all of last season with a shoulder problem, will be an upgrade at the cornerback position, which will lead to a boost in coverage sacks this season. In addition, I think the coaching staff will put more on the shoulders of second-year linebacker Jermaine Cunningham, who showed flashes of real skill at times last season. (His college coach Urban Meyer believes he can be the answer this season for New England's pass-rushing problems.) Then, there are back-of-the-roster guys like Eric Moore who also showed some promise last season. And that doesn't even begin to account for the bodies that are all still out there in free agency, guys like Manny Lawson and Matt Roth, both of whom are familiar with the skills needed to succeed as an outside linebacker in the 3-4. So there's hope.
@DamoJarrett: How is the return of Ty Warren going to effect our pass rush and do we need another big 3-4 end to compliment the other side?
I think Warren is a great presence at defensive end, and while he's not a pure pass rusher, he should allow the Patriots to generate more pressure on the quarterback. Additionally, I think the return of the Texas A&M product — as well as Wright, who missed a sizable chunk of the year last year with a concussion — should provide a boost for the pass rush. While they return of the two of them won't automatically make New England one of the best pass-rushing teams in the league, it should improve things. When it comes to the other side of the line, I'm thinking that you give the opportunity to some of the younger players — Brandon Deaderick, Myron Pryor and the rest — in camp and let them win the position. If all else fails, you could still bring veteran Gerard Warren back, although its questionable how much he has left in the tank.
@jerrythornton1: Post-lockout, can we reasonably expect anything from rookies?
I think you have to head into the 2011 season with diminished expectations for the rookie class, at least to start. That's not to say they couldn't surprise by the end of the season, but with no time in the program this offseason because of the work stoppage, the rookies lost valuable time that would have been used to get them acclimated to NFL life. Five or six weeks into the season might be a different story, but right now, look for them to struggle as they get up to speed alongside the rest of their veteran teammates.
@NEPatriotsDraft: What will the left side of the offensive line look like on opening day?
If this were a usual offseason, the Patriots would have a pretty good idea at this point as to whether or not Nate Solder could step in on Day One and start at left tackle. However, with the lockout, Solder is still a bit of an unknown quantity. There's still the possibility the first rounder can do what Matt Light did as a rookie back in 2001 and start right away, but right now, I'm thinking that Light is still the smart play, at least to start the season. (That is, if the Patriots and Light can come together on a contract for relatively short money. But that's another matter.) And with Logan Mankins' apparent willingness to sigh his franchise tender, you're likely looking at a Light-Mankins combination along the left side. But considering the Patriots ability to develop offensive linemen and Solder's pedigree, expect New England to end the season with Solder and Sebastian Vollmer as the two starting offensive tackles.
@PatsPropaganda: Can the second- and third-year guys take big steps forward (Chung, Brace, Deaderick, Tate)?
This is a key year for a lot of those guys. While I think that Chung will be able to emerge as a true presence, the other three — Brace, Deaderick and Tate — have all struggled at times, both on and off the field over the last two years. Even if the Patriots do not make moves in free agency, the numbers suggest those three need a big camp.
@GR365patriot: Player on D to make the biggest improvement? Player on offense?
On defense, I think this is the season Pat Chung really starts to assert himself, but on and off the field. We saw glimpses of what he's capable of the last two seasons, and last year's botched punt call in the playoffs aside, he's done very well and continued to improve. (I believe Chung will also be named special teams captain this year, an honor he probably should have received last season if not for being a year into the league at the time.) It'll be interesting to see how playing time at the safety spot shakes down — especially between Chung and James Sanders, who remains a steady and consistent influence at safety — but I think Chung is really poised for a breakout season. (I'm also going to make Brandon Spikes a close second, with Jermaine Cunningham third.) We're not sure if the Patriots are done adding pieces at wide receiver in free agency, but on offense, I think Julian Edelman will get every opportunity to erase a lost 2010 season and get the chance to match his 2009 numbers.
@ErikFrenz: What do you see as the primary role of Ras-I Dowling in his rookie year? Going forward?
Dowling has a real chance to make a significant impact as a rookie. He's not going to unseat the starting combination of Leigh Bodden and Devin McCourty, but he will most certainly push some of the corners who have been around the last few seasons, namely guys like Jonathan Wilhite and Darius Butler. (This is going to be a big camp for the two of them — in that same context, Kyle Arrington should be OK because of his special teams skills.) Dowling is a unique corner — at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, he's bigger than most of the current Patriots' corners, and if he can use that to his advantage at the NFL level, he could end up seeing significant snaps sooner rather than later. (He's so big, I think he's really going to stand out at camp when grouped with the other New England defensive backs. A guy to watch.)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC20 review
I've owned this camera since Christmas 2002 & have taken 5,000+ images. About 90% of them came out "Great". The rest were easily edited in one of my many software programs (IrfanView & DCEnhacer are my favorite & FREE).
It does under & overexpose sometimes, but what camera does'nt? It has a hard time focusing accurately in dim light, but so did my Canon A40 with a "focus assist lamp". Put it in "landcape" mode, if you can't get a focus "lock" (it also works MUCH faster,shot to shot, in that mode).
The camera actually looks & feels like a "camera". Very easy to use once you get the hang of it.
It auto focuses 2-3 sec. before it fires in 10 sec. timer mode, someone mentioned that it did'nt in an earlier review.
Image color saturation is perfect, very natural. Image quality is excellent for it's class. Best "macro" mode I've seen (I've owned Canon, Sony, Kodak, Olympus & Agfa).
Now, let's see if it lasts another 5,000 clicks.
The new LC33 ($299) is supposedly even better!!!
Hope this helps!
NOT ONE & I actually like the battery/SD card door, just don't treat it like a Bumble Ball, LOL!

Pope Warns of Doomsday, 21 December 2012? Is there doom around the corner they are planning or something to this date afterall?
Poster Handle

Pope is saying there's nothing to this hype.
And I believe him.
Could be that TPTB know, and maybe have known for 80 years, even 1000,
that our calendar is 5 year behind in galactic or (reality) terms to the mayans?
That they know S will indeed HTF on X date, and that is Y days from now?
If they knew, wouldn't they want full control before the fact, but possibly stage us into the 2012 date so they might get their NWO before the SHTF?
Just saying, No One truely knows
Stoned Prophet
That is my point. We are talking about galactic alignments and events with a 26000 year period (that is a estimate too). Nothing is exact,
there is no magical yellow tape running through the galaxy that we will cross.
^^^ We dont truly know either way, not to the color, but an energy field of some sort, we just dont honestly know^^^
Alignments are "rough" and there is no proof the orbital speed of the earth has remained constant since the Mayans.
^^^ This I disagree as the proof is the calendar still matches perfectly with eclipses and planet alignments. ^^^
We put satellites up in space and they crash when they run out of fuel.
If satellites need fuel to maintain a constant orbit then how can you assume planets don't ?
^^^^ that's a new thought, good foundation ^^^
Look at it this way if Nibiru really is
coming in 5 weeks amateur astronomers would have seen it.
You can't hide a planet when it gets that close !! People cannot see it simply because it is many years out.
^^^ well, this sound logical, but again, speed, size and many other factors effect this, so we still do not fully know until the date passes. ^^^

Francesca Ferreri
Fuzzy Traces
Opening: Saturday 18 June, 20-24 hrs
19 June – 17 July 2016
Thu-Sun, 14-18 hrs
Francesca Ferreri's solo exhibition at P/////AKT is part of DRAWN ONWARD, an exchange project with Progetto Diogene in Turin (IT). During the four-week residency period leading up to the exhibition she is working inside the space, translating her research into an installation of new sculptures and drawings. Her dialogue with the space, which will be dictated by exploring its potential as well as its architectural limitations, is based on the notion of the historical grottesche (a type of mural painting from the Roman period). Ferreri considers these to be an early example of a site-specific working method, applied by her in order to verify how today it can actually be seen as a model for spatial organisation.
In the grottesche, the various proportions and positions of the figures are determined by the dimensions of the surface on which they are displayed, meaning that they are shaped, or even 'deformed' according to a canon that was meant to make several antithetical forces compatible. Variations and repetitions, predetermined frames and sinuous freedom are eventually incorporated in a formal system that is both reinterpreting and confirming the given architectural structure and possible further subdivisions of the spatial context.
Ferreri aims to apply these spatial principles – which in the grottesche function as 'invisible' regulators – as a method for defining sculptural forms as well as the whole layout of the exhibition itself.
According to Ferreri, the grottesche as a reference model is also related to brain functions – another subject within her research – such as memories, the unconscious and the dream. In the grottesche, in fact, a different order reigns, which ignores the regular perspective and doesn't seem to be interested in the actual dimensions or distinction between beings, guiding the spectator through references and allusions and inviting him to explore the genesis of a false memory.
DRAWN ONWARD is an exchange project between P/////AKT in Amsterdam (NL) and Progetto Diogene in Turin (IT). Both organisations operate on a non-for-profit basis and are dedicated to supporting and facilitating emerging artistic talents. The aim of this collaboration is to share audiences, networks and experiences and to promote the work of young artists on an international platform. Francesca Ferreri (IT, lives and works in Turin) and Bram De Jonghe (BE, lives and works in The Hague) are the artists that were invited for this pilot-edition: each of them will spend a one-month residency period followed by a solo exhibition. DRAWN ONWARD offers the artists the possibility to produce new work on location – conceived specifically for the given space and context – and to present it to an international audience.

United States President Barack Obama has left Washington for his familiar spot on Martha's Vineyard for a two-week summer vacation, which comes as the US is engaged in airstrikes against Islamic militant targets in Iraq.
Obama, along with wife Michelle, daughter Malia and dogs Bo and Sunny, arrived at a Coast Guard station on Cape Cod before heading to the island off the Massachusetts coast. The presidential motorcade wove its way around Martha's Vineyard before pulling down a secluded drive that led to the Obamas' rented vacation house.
The Obamas' youngest daughter, Sasha, was not on Air Force One, but the White House said she would be joining the family for part of the vacation.
The president spent just 30 minutes at the house before taking off for the golf course. Joining Obama for a round at the Farm Neck Golf Club were former NFL player Ahmad Rashad, NBA player Ray Allen, and Cyrus Walker, the cousin of White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.
Obama has spent at least part of his summer in Martha's Vineyard each year he has been president except 2012, when he was running for re-election. In an unusual twist, he's breaking up his vacation with a two-day return to Washington midway through the trip.
Obama's advisers have been cagey about why the president is returning to Washington, saying only that he plans to hold in-person meetings at the White House
The president typically keeps a low-profile on his annual summer vacations, making the occasional visit into town and playing several rounds of golf. But he will headline a Democratic fundraiser on the island Monday night.
Before departing Washington Saturday, Obama told reporters that he was ready "to not have a suit on for a while."

Respect the dead! Demands to return remains of soldiers cut down at historical fort that inspired The Last of the Mohicans
Demands have been made for the return of soldiers' skeletons to Fort William Henry in New York after it emerged today they were never laid to rest during a burial ceremony at the site nearly 20 years ago.
The remains of unidentified soldiers who fought during the 1755 Indian and French War near the American fort - which was the historical setting for The Last of the Mohicans - were discovered in the 1950s during an excavation of the site.
The grisly remains were on display until 1993 when a well-publicized reburial ceremony was held to honor the redcoats and American provincial soldiers whose remains were being re-interred in the newly-built cemetery at the fort.
Rare find: Human skeletons were uncovered during a 1950s archaeological excavation prior to the reconstruction of Fort William Henry in Lake George, New York, were to re-interred in 1993
A stone memorial from the 1950s marks where the remains of an unknown soldier from the French and Indian War was found near the Fort William Henry Memorial Cemetery
But staff at the historical site have now admitted that only three of the 15 18th-century skeletons found when archaeologists excavated the site ahead of the fort being rebuilt, were actually buried because the rest were being studied in other parts of the country.
French and Indian War re-enactor and former member of the New York commission that promoted the 250th anniversary of the war, Randy Patten, demanded: 'Why don't they do the right thing and get them back?'
Hundreds of British forces were killed during the Indian and French wars - an ongoing conflict between Britain and France over territory in North America.
The poorly-equipped British colony troops stationed at Fort William Henry were forced to surrender to the French force - which contained 2,000 native Indians - after several days bombardment.
The 1992 film adaptation of The Last of the Mohicans, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as Hawkeye who helped two daughters evade capture by French forces and native Indians, is based on the events of the Indian and French wars in America in the 1700s
But as they made to withdrew back from the fort, the Indian soldiers violated the terms of the surrender, and killed 200 British soldiers as they made to escape.
The collection of remains were taken to Arizona and Canada for study but members of the public and historical enthusiasts of the period has no idea they'd ever been moved.
Even the mayor of Lake George, where the Fort is situated in Upper New York, had no clue what had been done.
Asked about his view on the matter, Robert Blais responded: 'Most of them aren't there?'
David Starbuck, a New York archaeologist who has written about the history behind Fort William Henry's skeleton collection, has also argued it is time the skeletons were bought back.
Uncovered: Some of the 10 skeletons of French and Indian War soldiers unearthed in the original fort's military cemetery
The skeletons of French and Indian War soldiers unearthed in an upstate New York village in the 1950s, that were on exhibit for decades near the memorial, have yet to be buried
Great Britain went to war with France over territory in North America. The conflict often referred as the Indian and French wars started in 1754 and finally ended in 1763.
But in 1756, the war erupted into the world-wide conflict, which then became known as the Seven Years' War.
Later that year, the siege of the British base Fort William Henry by the French began in August.
The fort, located at the southern end of Lake George, on the border between the British Province of New York and the French Province of Canada, was poorly defended by British soldiers.
After several days of bombardment by the French army - which included 2,000 native Indians - the British surrendered.
The French agreed in the terms of surrender that the British military would be protected from Indians in the area as they withdrew back to Fort Edward.
But the French Indian allies violated the agreed terms of surrender and attacked the British colonial forces, who had no way of defending themselves, as their ammunition had been left at the fort.
The native Indians killed and scalped around 200 soldiers in what became known as the Fort William Henry massacre.
He said: 'You're reaching the time when they should come home.'
In August 1757, the French burned Fort William to the ground after the British surrendered following a week-long siege. After the surrender, native Indian allies of the French killed about 200 of the garrison's defenders.
Fort William Henry is the real-life setting of the historical events in James Fenimore Cooper's classic The Last of the Mohicans, which follows the journey of two daughters trying to reach their father at Fort William Henry, with the Mohican tribe helping them evade capture by the native Indians and French soldiers.
Mr Starbuck recommended that the fort's skeletons be removed from exhibits and re-interred after being studied by experts in bio-archaeology - the study of human skeletal remains from archaeological sites.
But he claims a longer-than-expected analysis left the reburial in limbo but they decided to press ahead with the ceremony, believing the bones would soon be returned.
Mr Starbuck added: 'It was not intended to drag on this long.'
But anthropologist Brenda Baker and Maria Liston have both been studying the remains.
Ms Baker argues they will be returned to the fort when it has the proper storage facilities to prevent erosion of the remains.
She said: 'When they build an adequate storage facility, they will go back to the fort.
'Skeletons of any sort from this time period in North America, particularly people of European descent, are incredibly rare, and to have them from some sort of military context is even more rare.
'These skeletons were a window into what life was like at the fort.'

The chairman of an influential business council with close links to the Government's bid for a Middle East free trade agreement is a CV fraudster.
Fairfax NZ can reveal that Michael Vukcevic - head of the Auckland-based Middle East Business Council - falsely claimed to have a law degree from Victoria University.
Mr Vukcevic was also a director of anti-corruption agency Transparency International when he lied in his successful bid for the top New Zealand job at multinational law and patent firm, Baldwins.
The fraud will embarrass the firm, which was last year a finalist in the New Zealand Law Awards for a second year in a row.
It will also embarrass the Government because of the ties between the council and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and NZ Trade and Enterprise.
As chair of the Middle East council, Mr Vukcevic rubs shoulders with powerful figures from MFAT - including Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully.
The ministry said tonight that Mr McCully had no knowledge of the CV fraud, and nor did the ministry. "It is a matter for the council. It is a private sector organisation. MFAT has a good working relationship with the council and its members."
The council's current executive includes former Young Nats president Daniel Fielding, and the vice-chairman is Auckland lawyer Stewart Germann. Former National Party president Michelle Boag advises the executive.
Sources said MFAT officials were warned about concerns within the council about Mr Vukcevic over a deal he did without initial council knowledge.
Senior figures in the council have been told of the false claims in the CV.
Mr Germann said today that he was not aware of any problems with Mr Vukcevic's CV and therefore MFAT and Mr McCully had not been informed. He said The Dominion Post appeared to "be in possession of information of which I am unaware so I am unable to comment further."
Ms Boag said in the two years she had been at the council there had never been a complaint about his CV.
The council says it has "a particularly close relationship" with MFAT and NZ Trade and Enterprise.
It hosts and co-hosts, sometimes with MFAT, visiting Government delegations and trade missions from Middle Eastern nations.
MFAT officials are currently finalising a free trade agreement with several of New Zealand's most important Middle Eastern markets.
The New Zealand-Gulf Cooperation Council agreement, if ratified, will improve access to six countries and rank as our seventh-largest trading partners bloc.
Mr Vukcevic used the fictitious degree to become chief executive at Baldwins in 2012.
He resigned in November last year citing "personal reasons".
Baldwins partner Philip Thoreau said: "Michael left for personal reasons and that's all I can say."
Victoria University has confirmed Mr Vukcevic's only qualification from Victoria was a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Mr Vukcevic has not responded to multiple approaches asking for an explanation.
His seven-page CV also includes a claim he was a director for a recruitment firm. That claim is also false.
Mr Vukcevic's CV describes him as a "dynamic Chief Executive with a proven track record of success."
It says his experience is across large public and corporate companies, private companies and Government.
Under the education, the CV claims Mr Vukcevic obtained a law degree and a BA from studying at Victoria from 1989 to 1992.

Additional Notes
Complaint: The bank did not bill my correctly and even after I've sent them additional funds they are calling me multiple times a day to ask for funds. My home mortgage account # is **********. I received my June 1, 2016 mortgage statement for $1,669.84. I paid this amount prior to June 1. I received a letter dated 6/5/2015 on Saturday, June 13th stating that my loan amount due on June 1 is $1,746.20. The letter asked me to remit $76.36 and tells me they are holding my $1,669.84 payment. On Sunday, June 14th I used WElls Fargo bill pay to send the $76.36 to Associated bank even though at this time I had no information from the bank on what the amount was for. I received a call Tuesday, June 16th letting me know I am close to the end of my grace period on my late mortgage payment. I went through these details with the person on the phone. I am now receiving automated calls several times a day from associated bank trying to collect the $76.36. Wells Fargo has confirmed they have transferred the funds. I've asked the human who I have spoken to at Associated Bank to please bill me accurately in the future I get no commitment on this. I still don't think my June mortgage payment has been applied.
Desired Settlement: I would like this business to bill accurately in the future. If there are changes on their side I would like the changes reflected in the next cycle not retroactively. I would like to stop receiving bill collection calls from Associated Bank. I have consistently paid them the amount they asked for and have several cases now where I've also paid additional amounts later during their clerical issues. My closing for instance was $7,000 off and I paid that with a 2 day notice and the banker said, "everyone makes mistakes."
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2015/06/25) */ June 25, 2015 ******* ******** ***************** Shoreview MN 55126 RE: Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) Case # ******** Dear Ms. ********, I am responding to the complaint you filed with the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota received June 19, 2015 regarding your Associated Bank mortgage loan ending in ****. I apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this matter has caused you. Your loan originated on April 14, 2014 as a construction loan. Associated Bank sent you a billing statement dated May 1, 2015 which showed your June 1, 2015 payment due for $1,669.84. However, you were in the process of modifying your loan into a fixed rate product. We received your signed Loan Modification Agreement dated May 22, 2015 which indicated your principal and interest payment amount due effective June 1, 2015 is $1,472.16 at an interest rate of 3.875%. This amount does not include any monthly payment amount owed for the collection of Escrow. I enclosed a copy of the Loan Modification Agreement for your review. Because we did not receive the full amount due for June 2015, Associated Bank sent you a letter dated June 5, 2015 indicating that $76.36 was still owed to satisfy the June 2015 payment. On June 18, 2015 we sent you another billing statement reflecting the payment due for July 1, 2015 for $1,673.67. This amount does include the $200.51 for escrow of your taxes and/or insurance. A copy is enclosed for your convenience. We have also removed your phone number from our auto-dialer as you requested. At Associated Bank, we place a high value on providing quality service and recognize that customer satisfaction is key to our continued success.

Additional Notes
Complaint: this is not the "friendly" bank as advertised, that would kick out a 74 year old woman out of her house in October because of their mistake. I borrowed money from Associated bank under a SBA loan and my mother cosigned for me with her house as collateral. In 2008 I fell into hard times because of things done illegally to my business and I did not adjust well. I went to Associated bank and told them I was having difficulties. I was told they would work with me. There idea of working with me was demanding their money I was late with or legal action would be taken. I had other financial institutions ready to work with me and help me out, but because of the agressive action of Associated I was forced into a chptr 13 and then my mother had to file too because they started to demand the money from her even though I was willing to pay them. They then tried to fight my 13 and past due amount with interset only payments,but were turned down by the courts and were told they had to work with me.They filed their paper work for the courts. "We",the courts and my attorney and me, did not find out until after my thirteen was finished that Associated's attorney did not file the paper work properly so they only got the past due amount and were trying to fight for the extra amount that went to some past due taxes so they were turned down with their protest,again, because they filed wrong,This was the beginning of this year 2014. My attorney suggested we wait for the for my continued payments. Again I heard from other financial and started my payments with them, but nothing from Associated bank, until September 27th when I was served papers for the past due amount and my mother was also but her house was put up for a sheriff's auction. No notices or requests for payments. My mother will be 74 soon, she spends over 40 hours a week at a charity she started, to help people in a financial crisis brought on by a medical crisis. She was devistated. I tried going to the direct office in appleton (darboy)and trying to work with them on payments. They were friendly said they tried to contact my mother, but her phone number was not listed in the phone book anymore. I said no she has a cell phone, but why didn't you try a letter? I filled out the paper work and gave it to them the next day, but they said they would still not stop the sheriff's sale. I tried the main office in Stevens Point with a call. I was told that they would get back to me....no returned call. We had no time for a loan consolidation given the sheriff's sale was on the 15th of October my mother was forced (again) to file a chapter 13 as she was released early from her's she could do this to protect her house. This was all because of their attorney's mistake!!!! All the money I paid for Associated went to other people and they were paid more from the thirteen. I paid once for them now I have to pay again. What did Associated gain from these bully tactics? I know I am not the only one and wish more people would go to their representatives and get this changed so there has to be some kind of contact for payments,before banks can do this to people. Now more money was spent on attorey's that could have been paid down on the loan. And Associated is using the same Attorney...Really?!!! So this means Associated had no problem with his mistake, which makes them just as culpable. Sadly I can only pray for the deception and heartless souls that orchestrated this on a defenseless 74 year old woman and go to my representatives to get these tactics changed.
Desired Settlement: An apology to my mother and make things right for the other mistakes.
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1000, 11, 2014/10/31) */ October 31, 2014 ******* ********* ******************* Hilbert WI 54129 RE: Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota, Case #******** Dear Mr. *********, This letter is in response to the complaint you filed with the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota received on October 17, 2014 regarding your SBA loan account ending in 9001. Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. Please be assured Associated Bank is committed to keeping borrowers in their homes. I am sorry to hear of your disappointment with the servicing of your account and apologize for any frustration you experienced. I am glad that I had the opportunity to speak with you regarding your concerns. While we understand how stressful a financial hardship can be, a review of our records indicated no error; therefore Associated Bank denies any wrongdoing. On February 24, 2005 a $150,000 SBA loan was originated by ********* **************************** which was guaranteed by yourself, ******* ********* and your mother ***** ********* who were both owners of the business. The loan was secured by the business assets and real estate which included the home of ***** *********. After payment default, legal collection action started in 2008. In October 2008, the bank received a money judgment allowing the sale of the business assets and a foreclosure judgment against the real estate. The interest on the judgment accrued at the rate of 12% per annum in accordance with Wisconsin law. Associated Bank filed a claim with the bankruptcy court and your Chapter 13 bankruptcy provided that payments to Associated Bank and American General Financial Services shall be interest only with minimal contributions to principal during the term of the plan. In 2009 your mother ***** ********* filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition. Associated Bank filed a claim for the unpaid judgment amount which was $118,980.34. Her bankruptcy plan provided for payment to CitiMortgage, Inc. as first mortgage holder on her home but did not provide for second mortgage payments to be made to Associated Bank. We chose not to contest the bankruptcy by demanding that it be paid by her during her bankruptcy plan. Her bankruptcy plan specifically stated that the bank debt is currently being paid as scheduled debt in a concurrent Chapter 13 case (your bankruptcy case). However since she failed to make payments in accordance with the bankruptcy plan her Chapter 13 case was dismissed. Since both bankruptcy cases had concluded and we were required to continue communicating with the SBA with regard to the status of the loan, ************** Loan Workout Officer was asked to continue collection efforts on this loan. Since Associated Bank was unable to contact ***** ********* by telephone, our Attorney Ronald ******* placed several phone calls to her attorney **** ********** in an effort to work out a payment plan. On August 25, 2014, Attorney **** ********** said he would contact ***** to discuss solutions and on September 12, 2014 he stated he was unable to contact *****. On October 7, 2014 Attorney ********** stated that ***** had communicated with him but had not yet retained him and therefore there was no payment plan offered by ***** or yourself. You stated that you received documentation on September 27, 2014 that a sheriff's auction was to be held October 15, 2014 which would have affected your mother's residence and your place of business; however since that date the sheriff's auction was cancelled. In regards to your concerns regarding the garnishment of your account at ****** Credit Union, please refer to the State of Wisconsin Circuit Court Calumet County Case No 08-CV-198 which stated judgment for the payment of money was duly rendered and entered in that action in favor of Associated Bank against ********* ****************************, ******* A *********, and ******* ********* on October 9, 2005 in the amount of $120,428.41. To discuss this matter further you may wish to talk with your attorney. If I may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me directly at the number above. Sincerely, **************** Customer Care Senior Specialist Customer Care Center We Care Team cc: Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota, Electronic Transmittal Only MS:hw Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (4200, 14, 2014/11/03) */ I have read the response from Associated bank and am amazed how my complaint was so easily dismissed, as if I were just some angry person flailing away without direction and my complaint had no merit. Many of the things written by Associated bank's representative are only have truths and lies. And this person is a customer service representative? Lets take it paragraph by paragraph. 1st paragraph)I feel a derogatory dismissal. 2nd paragraph)True. 3rd paragraph) I tried working a payment program with Associated bank to catch, but they demanded their money NOW! forcing me into a chapter 13 bankruptcy. 4th paragraph) True That is how the plan was drawn up by my attorney. But Associated bank then failed to file the proper paper work for their collections so they only received the back due amount and not the interest. This was fought for after the plan and there was excess monies that went to back taxes and other people were paid more because Associated bank failed to file properly requesting the interest (Documented). American general received all there payments as they filed correctly. I was released from any further obligation for the chapter 13 successfully even from your bank. 5th Paragraph) My mother was forced into a chapter thirteen by Associated bank then released successfully from the chapter 13 plan because there was nothing for the overseer of the plan to do and her payments were being paid successfully, thereby being released from any further obligation on the chapter 13 plan. (documented) She did not fail the plan. 6th paragraph)This is a problem as Attorney ********** was not at that moment retained by my mother why should she have? And why would Attorney ******* contact him? As an attorney he should know the most effective way to contact a person is a certified letter; none received. As for Attorney ********** saying he would be contacting my mother I find doubtful. Also, my Attorney was never contacted. Neither was a letter sent to our offices or a call received(we have a live answering service for the business). Attorney ******* knows the funding for this comes from the business. 7th paragraph) The sheriffs auction was cancelled because of my mothers chapter 13 at the last moment. 8th paragraph)I went into your office at W3122 cty KK Appleton(Darboy),WI 54915 on 10/8/14 to try to work something out on a payment plan. After explaining things with the manager there he had the loan specialist come in and she said we could work out a payment plan for a one year trial run, she just needed updated information from me. I returned the next day with the information. after looking at the information she said she could not give me an answer on the loan yet because all of her superior people to approve the loan were out of the office and non were returning for a few days(quite convenient don't you think?) I asked about removing the sheriffs auction on my mothers house she said that she would not remove that. I told her that was not going to happen. That my mother would then claim a chapter 13 and stop the process. Both times I was polite and left politely(your cameras should prove that). In turn the information I gave at that time was used to get into my checking account and garnish the money there not work with me on a payment plan. This money was meant to pay small business people that also needed it. Thereby hurting me and them in the process. I have discussed this with my Attorney and her is in full knowledge of the process I am taking. 9th paragraph) No I don't think I will be calling you directly as I want a third party to know exactly what is happening In conclusion somebody is selling something, most of what I say is documented and I have the documentation if and when needed. I also ask you release my money held in garnishment and apologize to my mother as you announced her sheriffs auction and go to the negotiating table for the remainder of the money under the eyes of the BBB or the SBA to settle payments. Sincerely, ******* A. ********* Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 17, 2014/11/03) */ FYI My apologies. I failed to mention, had we been duely informed about the actions to come against us there was a very good possiblity that my mother could have refinanced a new mortgage on her house. But because of the lack of time (about 2 weeks notice)and the bullying tactics of Associated bank forcing her to file a chapter 13 again. She cannot apply for one for a year after the bankruptcy has started. Final Business Response /* (4000, 22, 2014/11/05) */ November 5, 2014 ******* ********* ******************* Hilbert WI 54129 RE: Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota, Case #******** Dear Mr. *********, This letter is in response to the rebuttal you filed with the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota on November 3, 2014 regarding your SBA loan ending in 9001. While we understand how stressful a financial hardship can be, as stated previously Associated Bank denies any wrongdoing. Enclosed are copies of the garnishment, sheriff's sale cancellation, and judgment paperwork. To discuss this matter further you may wish to talk with your attorney.
