Laura, seconding le nubians suggestions and if that is no help then go to the local news and make a big fuss. The bank should not be allowed to get away with this bullshit.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Laura, maybe contact your federal Senator. Especially if they are Democrat. I think they would love to champion your cause in this election year. Also, I can't help but wonder, if the bank is wanting your house for other reasons. Like, are they trying to swindle all the houses in an area for freeway bypass, or train, or mineral rights, or some such. It seems odd that you are trying to make payments, and they won't let you. And on top of that, they are not giving you a list of the charges?!? Crazy.

IOmerealestateN, the place I have the offer on, the short sale, a negotiator for the selling bank has been assigned. This is step 2 of the process (step one being the offer itself). The fact it took only a couple weeks rather than 4-6 is a good sign. And it's Wachovia bank, which apparently handles short sales better than most.

Our wings are not tired.
le nubian, I think you are right on this. My attorney is a relaxed easy going real estate guy and I think I am going to switch to an aggressive 'sue the bastards' type. My nature is to assume I am dealing with rational logical people, but this clearly is not the case. They have been abusive in so many ways including force placing windstorm insurance when it was not required for the first 8 years of my mortgage. Um, can't just change the rules and charge me 20k for overpriced never before required insurance. At this point I think I have to counter sue to show them I am not giving them my house.

Ugh, Laura. I'm so sorry you're going through this.
ION, is it okay if I squee about something kinda frivolous and GCS related?

Yay, omnis! Continued house~ma to you.
I am babysitting G today. His new reaction to being told what to do is "shh! Be quiet now." When I told him that wasn't nice. He says, "but mommy and daddy laugh when I say that."

The board can always use more squeeing.

I was gonna wear the tiny top hat! C's going to help me, thank heavens, heading over there now.
I'd love to hear some good news, Jilli!
Keeping fingers crossed for you, omnis.

It's either that or call Nate Ford, so...

I just set up an interview with the guys behind the doll companies Wilde Imagination (my doll Lucretia Evangeline is from them) and Tonner Doll, who do make a lot of the high-end movie dolls. Not only do I get to interview them, but they are going to SEND ME A DOLL. To review. Because I am no fool, I am going to ask that they send me the Beetlejuice fashion doll.
OMG DOLLS. And their PR person really likes the GCS site and book!
