A Beaver County, Pennsylvania woman, Eileen Battisti, who lost her $280,000 home at an auction over $ 6.30 in unpaid interest has won an opportunity to keep her home, due to a ruling on appeal by a Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court on Monday, August 19, 2013.
The appeals court ruled that it was "paricularly inappropriate" for a lower court Beaver County judge to rule against Mrs. Battisti without first holding a due process, evidentiary hearing, particularly since the alleged outstanding liability was so small ( $ 6.30) and the value of the home was so far greater ($ 280,000) than the amount paid by the subsequent tax sale purchaser( $116,000).
In fact, to further aggravate this story, Mrs. Battisti actually purchased her home in full (paid off her balance) in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania in 2004 with the proceeds from her deceased husband's life insurance proceeds.
