The two elements that Tax Deed Purchasers rely on is the obscurity in which they can do their business and the fact that time is on their side.
It's a rare situation where just waiting for things to quiet down, or waiting for a legal case to move forward doesn't work for the benefit of the Tax Deed Purchaser.
Write, call, e-mail anyone and everyone whom you feel ought to know what is happening. Let the Purchasers know they are being watched...
For reform within your own community, the local county treasurer is usually the most directly involved with tax deed buyers...begin there and then move on to your State congress members, the State prosecutor's office...do not leave them alone until you know that the system YOU live under seems fair to You.
Respect the Tax Deed Purchasers who do their work responsibly while sensitive to the lives of their "victims", THE OTHERS SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS... AS THEY HAVE BEEN IN MICHIGAN.
