Richard Anthony

Richard Anthony, one of the victims, told his story at the 2003 NVP Convention.  He and his wife had bought a home from a real estate company that had discouraged them from hiring their own attorney or inspector.  "The joy we felt at that time was short-lived," Anthony told the Convention.  The house was full of leaks and the heating ductwork needed to be replaced.  After paying for repairs the family couldn’t pay the mortgage and their house was foreclosed.  "I felt that I failed my family," Anthony concluded.  "But now we have come from being a victim to being a fighter."
