In the recent movie “Fun With Dick and Jane” starring Jim Carrey, one of the bad-luck things that happens to Dick and Jane as a result of Dick losing his job is that the landscaping is reposessed. Which led me to think the other day, how do you get landscaping on credit? Assuming that they did not put it on their credit card, or get a home equity loan (because a credit card company or a bank, I would think, would not reposess landscaping; rather, they would force payment on the card or note through bankruptcy or foreclosure on the collateral), my thought is that they must have had credit with a landscaping company and were paying a monthly payment, which, when they couldn’t afford the payments anymore, was reposessed. So, is this really possible, or do you think this was just done for comedy’s sake for the movie? Anybody ever heard about having landscaping done on credit through a landscaping company? If this option is for real, my yard could really use it…. Thanks!
Yeah, I thought it seemed like a stretch. The reposessed the in-ground flowers, shrubs, plants, newly-planted tree saplings, and grass. Any thoughts anyone?
