Illiterate couple may keep Wilmington home amid sale dispute
The Owings couple, illiterate homeowners in Wilmington, faced a marshal’s sale over a $48 medical bill wrongly directed to collection. Lawyer Buck considers a plan to return the house if the couple can raise $2, the amount he invested, with Legal Aid negotiating a resolution before April 1 relocation. The family, unaware of the sale due to unread notices, filed suit to regain the home as Buck vows to avoid being the “bad guy.”
