Anthony Family May Lose Caylee’s Home
Bank Of America Files Foreclosure

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Local 6 was present when Bank of America moved to foreclose on the home where Caylee Anthony once lived, a move the family didn’t see coming.

George and Cindy Anthony said they did not know that the papers had been filed until Local 6’s Mike DeForest brought it to their attention.

According to the foreclosure filing, the Anthonys had not made a mortgage payment in nine months.

The Anthonys’ attorney said their granddaughter’s death contributed to them losing the house that Casey Anthony called home from the age of 3, where she raised Caylee, and where she was eventually arrested in connection with the toddler’s killing.

The Anthonys have owned the Hopespring Drive property since 1989, but four years ago they refinanced their home for $121,000. According to the filing, they still owe nearly all of that money.

Bank of America said that since June 2009, the Anthonys have failed to make their $785 monthly payments.

The Anthonys attorney attributed the couple’s latest financial problems to the notoriety of the case and the emotional toll caused by their granddaughter’s slaying.

Cindy Anthony told prosecutors she had to leave her job because of stress-related medical problems and has been on disability for more than a year.

George Anthony, on the other hand, said he -- like many others in this economy -- is having difficulty finding work. But the Anthonys attorney said George Anthony has an added difficulty because he is instantly recognized and rejected by most employers either because of who he is or because companies fear he may bring unwanted media attention.

Many had speculated that the Anthonys were profiting off book and movie deals, but their attorney said this foreclosure proves that never occurred.

The Anthonys said they plan to do all they can to save their home, if only to preserve the place where Caylee spent her life.

Can you believe this? They can afford to take cruises, get tattoos and piercings, but they can't make their mortgage payments?? And they didn't know this was coming? What do they think happens when you don't pay your house payments??

Something tells me there is more to this than the A's are letting on.... and I think they need to stop blaming everyone else for their problems and take some responsibility. IIRC from their depos, Cindy is on a 2-year disability leave from Gentiva. Sounds like they better get off their behinds and go back to work.

I'm sorry to say this, but I have a sneaking feeling they are hoping for some sympathy and that someone will make their payments for them. Or maybe they want to unload that house and move on to bigger and better. They have a real sense of entitlement....

Too bad... that's the only home Caylee ever knew.

The Anthony's want to preserve the place where Caylee spent her life, and possibly where she met her death. Too bad they didn't put more effort into preserving Caylee's life. Now they defend Caylee's killer, and live off of ill-begotten gains. Watch the house go to the highest bidder, as it is now a "commodity".

Dear GA,
There are numerous pawn shops in Florida. I'm sure you could get a pretty penny for that huge diamond earring that I saw you sporting in photo's. Unless of course it is as fake as your love for Caylee.

Excellent post Fysty!

I read on another site that they let it go into forclosure so they can negotiate a better mortgage than the one they had. Apparantly the credit crisis has created ways for dead beats to yet again abuse the system. And how in the hell do you go 9 freaking months without paying your mortgage? Is this normal? I would think they would have started forclosure procedings before now. I don't believe for a second that these con artists were not aware that they have forgotten to write a check for their mortgage for 9 freaking months!!! They better watch their backs. Some nut case who has lost their home through no fault of their own may want to even the score, so to speak. If you guys get my drift. The credit crisis or recession as they call it was created by people like the A-holes. We are all struggling. When we got to the point that paying our bills was becoming harder and harder, I called a few lenders and guess what? Because we have always paid our mortgage on time, we didn't qualify for any help with refinancing. I guess I should have forgotten to write that check huh? The Anthony's just keep sinking lower and lower. Pretty soon they will end up where Caylee did. In the swamps with the rest of the snakes.

The Anthonys were not aware? Don't they read their mail?

They probably put the bills in the hate mail pile.

They are playing stupid. I don't feel a bit sorry for them. You're right Dis, people that made timely mortgage payments couldn't get a break. I have several friends that tried and they were worrying themselves sick. I'd bet this was a planned move on the A's part.

Perhaps the notice was posted on their front door, and they 'overlooked' it like they did the notice from the towing company.....

I really want to feel some sympathy for the Anthonys for all that they have been through..... but I just can't.

They created the monster who killed their only grandchild... and they created the circus around her death.

They blame everyone for everything gone wrong EXCEPT the one MOST responsible, and they refuse to accept any responsibility for anything themselves...

Caylee never had a chance in that family. It saddens me to say that had she been allowed to grow into womanhood, she may possibly have grown up to be just another generation of an Anthony woman, as she only had her mother and grandmother as twisted roles models.

They were not aware??? Not aware that they had not made a mortgage payment in 8 months? kh

How does one go on a very public cruise with family members, sporting new tattoos and diamond earrings, and then claim indigency? kh

Ohhhh...and what about "The Foundation"?...If they don't keep reign on their money how in the "H" can they run a scamdation???.They have just elevated themselves to POS classification in my books...Not that I thought that much of them to begin with...Just goes to show you how much they kept track of the MOTY...

Dear George and Cindy,

Your incredibly and embarassingly long 15 minutes of fame are now officially over.
Deal with it.
That is all.

kh

It is time for the suicide faker and the self righteous mother of the year,along with their pathetic lawyer to call on those friends they have ...you know those who love and support them... the ones who really know who they are are and what they are about, the non judgemental ones. Make a few phone calls to the family who loves them so and believes them.
And what about Lee? He needs to come out of hiding and give his parents (a.k.a the world's best parents and grandparents) some financial assistance.
Either that or they better get that car detailing business up an running. After all they clean a car in no time at all and guarantee no smell or stains left behind!

kh, I believe that VERY PUBLIC cruise they took was meant to be kept VERY QUIET. I'm pretty sure they had hoped they had been able to use their surreptitious skills to outsmart the media.... and the other people on that cruise.

Oops.....

Theyre full of shit.

I agree with you Snaz. The first thing I thought was, theyre doing this to make everyone think they are broke so they can get a bigger and better house.

Could you imagine the public uproar and the media frenzy that would be going on if they moved out TO buy a bigger better house?

Casey Anthony’s family home in foreclosure
George and Cindy Anthony are facing foreclosure

By Bianca Prieto, Orlando Sentinel

Casey Anthony's family is facing new legal woes: Their east Orange County home is in foreclosure.

Documents filed Monday in Orange Circuit Court show Bank of America is foreclosing on the home of George and Cindy Anthony, parents of accused murderer Casey Anthony.

The Anthony family has not been served with a foreclosure notice, their lawyer said.

Court records show the grandparents of slain toddler Caylee Marie Anthony have not made a $785.82 mortgage payment since June 2009, leading to more than $7,000 in past-due payments.

"This is the only place Caylee ever lived," said Brad Conway, attorney for George and Cindy Anthony. "I will do as much as I can to try to help them save this house."

Conway told the Orlando Sentinel in October 2009 that the couple used money it generated in licensing fees to catch up on other bills, like car payments.

The Anthonys were paid $20,000 in fees by CBS for providing the company with exclusive photos and videos of their daughter and granddaughter.

That same month, the Anthonys went on a three-day Caribbean cruise with son Lee Anthony and his girlfriend, Mallory Parker. Conway said the cruise cost about $300 a person and was planned months in advance.

"The Anthony's are not living lavishly, and the house being in foreclosure proves that," Conway said. "They are struggling to pay for everything."

The home at 4937 Hopespring Drive in the Chickasaw Oaks subdivision was the last place Caylee Marie Anthony was seen alive in June 2008. Her body was found a few hundred yards away in woods in December that year.

The girl's mother, Casey Anthony, is charged with first-degree murder in the child's death. She is being held without bond at the Orange County Jail.

Records show that the Anthonys bought the house in 1989 for $90,900. They refinanced the four-bedroom home in 2005 and agreed to pay $121,180. Court documents show that the lender claims the couple owes about $121,000.

Cindy Anthony, a registered nurse who worked for Gentiva Health Services in Winter Park, has been on disability for several months, Conway said. George Anthony, a former deputy sheriff in Ohio, has worked off-and-on since his granddaughter disappeared but does not have a steady job.

George Anthony has filled out numerous job applications and gone on several interviews, but no one will hire him, Conway said.

"Caylee's death has affected the Anthonys emotionally, physically and financially," Conway said.

I just heard it reported on HLN that the house was originally $91,000 but NOW they owe $250,000. How is it that they owe more than twice what the house is even worth?
