“They sent me an email from the bank, indicating that please, when I left the house, I would give the power and water down, because they didn’t want any expenses. The forms also hurt, that cold attitude, because they have been indifferent to two children being left homeless. After all, I have not generated debt, my former husband stopped paying his share of the mortgage, but for the solidarity loan they have asked me for interests of delay, I have been overwhelmed and I have had to leave the house, otherwise the bank was against my mother, because it was she who had the guarantee”. Vitoriana Gloria Rodríguez, who was dismissed on 31 October of her auction house by the bank, is still pending payment of a debt of 22,000 euros. “I have not received any social assistance because I am working and now we are at my mother’s and my father’s house; we get along well, but suddenly we have entered five people in a house of 60 square meters and in the same room we run the children and the three: My 5-year-old son lives in a festive atmosphere, my 10-year-old daughter doesn’t like it, but we are left for a lot, because I can’t think about renting until I pay all the debt, and we congratulate ourselves because we have found the family’s shelter, if I don’t imagine it… I’d like to pay the loan in five years, because by then my daughter will already have 15 and need her space, but I’ll be 41 and I’ll get my mortgage? I see the future black.”

The house was acquired in 2004-2005 by his husband and he, divorced in 2007, and the judge ruled that each of them should continue to pay half of the mortgage. Glory stayed at home with her children. Shortly thereafter, her former husband stopped paying, stated that he was charging less than he earned and declared himself insolvent. Thus, the debt arose and although initially Rodríguez reached an agreement with the bank to pay EUR 511 a month in exchange for living in rent, another EUR 19,000 have also been claimed. With a salary of EUR 1,300, it is impossible for the vitorian to pay EUR 511 per month for rent and another EUR 535 on loan. “I have proposed solutions to them, but they didn’t want to know anything, I haven’t stopped paying a month and I didn’t intend to stop paying, but they take more advantage of saying goodbye. As you can see, the bank has more power than the judge, because the judge said we had to pay half and half, and the bank has told me they don't understand the half account. It’s not fair, the debt has been raised by her former husband, but the bank asks anyone, regardless of what they leave on the street.”
