manufactured homes

[jen]

Has anyone purchased a manufactured home with numerous safety issues and sued the company and won?
We do not sue people but that is what we are going to have to do. We don't want to but I think when you have a mortgage you should get what you pay for. The companies want their money
I set up a state DCED/HUD inspection to get an unbiased opinion of all of the issues with our home.
We ended up with two pages of Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard Violations.
Let's just say they aren't minor violations either.
If anyone has any advice I would be grateful.
We want this over.
Thanks,
Jen

The dealer and the plant will be ordered by HUD to repair the home...There is a buy required buy back program for homes with serious unresolvable problems..

I have never heard of a successful claim this way because all plants will jump through all hoops long before this will happen..

Law suits are possible and have been successful...but they can take years...Most likely you have an arbitration agreement and will have to start there..be sure you have a good attorney..this can be expensive..

Best would be to let the plant have a chance to rectify the problems..Good Luck
