Homestyle Trust Home Improvement Grant?

Sunday, November 9th, 2008
gaffney asked:


Has anyone followed through with this?
I got a letter in the mail saying that I won a grant for 39,000 dollars. It said I was pulled randomly from a list and it came with a pretty legit check for 4, 970 dollars, 3,150 of which are needed to pay government taxes to get the grant in full. I haven’t been able to find any info on the internet from someone who has gone through with this completely.
I was wondering if I could cash the check and not pay those “fees” since apparently the grant is in my name LOL.

I do not live in my house where the home improvement was taken out. The loan is in my name only. My daughter now lives there and pays me the home improvement payment to me and I pay it to the lender. Is this legal? I believe I asked the wrong question. My lender is Citi-fianial.. Please help. Sry about the last question. Keep it simple lol ty much! Hugs
