wow, i am SO sorry about all your problems. i just can't imagine trying to deal with all that with a sinking heart, knowing you are facing a strong uphill battle just when you were looking forward to opening the next chapter of your life with it. i've wondered whether or not i could contact the previous owner (as we were also left with the former owner's info) regarding issues we've found with our new to us FR Windsong. i don't know what your next step would be, but i'd certainly (if you haven't already) tell them you will proceed with litigation--then i'd contact my attorney and have him send a detailed letter of your grievances--and you have a number of them. hopefully, his/her strongly worded letter will have them contacting you with remedy.
