Illegal immigrant in Florida arrested after alleged attack during car repossession leaves woman with stroke
An illegal immigrant was recently arrested in Florida after allegedly attacking a couple trying to repossess his car, according to local law enforcement. Enio Corgozinho is charged with aggravated battery, simple battery and burglary with battery, FOX 35 Orlando reported. A husband and wife were repossessing Corgozinho's car when he hit the woman in the chest, stomach and left arm, before pulling her out of his car, according to Lake County Sheriff's Office records. He also allegedly pushed the husband, who was driving the tow truck. Following the alleged assault, the wife stopped breathing and later suffered a stroke, causing her to lose oxygen to the brain for eight minutes after the attack, her husband told FOX 35. In 911 audio of the incident, the woman's husband could be heard yelling at who appeared to be Corgozinho. "Please! He's attacking my wife," the man told 911. "Back away," he yelled, seemingly at Corgozinho. After deputies arrived, body camera video shows personnel repeatedly demanding Corgozinho turn around and get on his knees, according to the report. Sheriff's office records show he followed orders after being noncompliant. Corgozinho is in custody under an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hold, pending further legal proceedings. Corgozinho was arrested less than two years ago for driving with a suspended license and using an out-of-state license, while his Florida license was suspended, according to the report. It is unclear why he was not deported from the country after previous arrests. ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Ontario woman's vehicle repossessed after 2 missed car payments
A report from Equifax found more Canadians are having trouble making their car payments and if you miss two or more payments your vehicle could be repossessed. A new report from Equifax Canada says more Canadians are having trouble making their car payments. Missing two or more payments could lead to your vehicle being repossessed. If that happens, you'll more than likely face additional charges to get your car back which could negatively impact your credit rating. 'It's been horrible with the whole situation,' said Rooselyn St. Jean of Brampton, who had her 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander repossessed in March of this year. St. Jean said when she finished college, her mother gifted her the SUV, but at the time her mom was still paying off a loan she had taken out for new tires and rims. 'The vehicle was under my name, but the loan was under my mom's name and she was making payments for it,' said St. Jean. St. Jean says her mother borrowed about $3,000 three years ago and still had a year left to make payments. She was paying $115 a month, but when she missed two payments in December and January, the SUV was repossessed from their driveway two months later. 'So, it was just two payments that were missed because my father wasn't working, and my mother was the only one working full time.' St. Jean was told with added towing, storage, and other fees she would have to pay about $2,000 to get the vehicle back, but it was money she didn't have. 'I know I don't have $2,000 sitting in my account, so I know for a fact there is a good chance I won't see my car again.' St. Jean's mother's loan was with FIX4 Capital. In a statement to CTV News, a spokesperson for FIX4 Capital said, 'Due to customer privacy regulations and in accordance with our internal policies we are unable to discuss or disclose any details related to this account.' 'However, we can confirm that the vehicle in question is currently in our possession, and the customer has not taken the necessary steps to redeem it. Please note that all internal and external procedures were followed in accordance with our company policy throughout the process—from the time of default to the repossession of the vehicle.' Canadian Debt Relief, a Canadian publisher that writes educational content on debt and personal finance topics, told CTV News it is aware there has been an increase in consumers having difficulties paying off car loans. 'We have definitely seen an increase in car repossessions,' said Martin Kosic. Kosic advises that if you receive a notice of repossession, you should contact your lender right away. 'If you contact the lender on the first missed payment, you may be able to discuss referral or restructuring options. Reach out to lenders, attempt a private sale on your own, look for refinancing options with credit unions or alternative lenders who may be able to offer more flexible payment options,' said Kosic. St. Jean said she believes her SUV has now been sold at auction and she has no idea how she'll get around, or back and forth to work. 'It's very sad and to think I'm not going to have my car is hard,' said St. Jean.

Tommy Paul wins at French Open after truck repossessed due to missed payments
Tommy Paul was pleased to come back to win his first-round match at the French Open on Sunday, but perhaps not as thrilled as he was to discuss regaining the truck he lost when he accidentally missed some payments. The 12th-seeded Paul eliminated Elmer Moller of Denmark 6-7, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 at Court Simonne-Mathieu on a day that alternated a light rain and heavy wind with sunshine. Afterward, Paul explained that his truck was repossessed earlier this month when he changed banks and forgot to properly adjust the automatic payments for his Ford F-150. 'I missed, I think it was, like three payments. They came and took it. I didn't know it happened like that. I didn't know how quick they would come and grab it – like in the middle of the night,' Paul, who has career earning of $10.8m, said. 'Now I'm watching all these 'repo' shows, where they come in and swoop trucks at one in the morning. It's definitely a funny experience. To be in Europe while it happened is even crazier. But we did get it back.' He found out that the truck was gone when his trainer – who was back in Florida – asked Paul to check his security camera footage to see whether there were any packages that needed to be picked up. To Paul's surprise, he said 'There were no packages – and no truck.' When he scrolled back through the video, the American saw what had happened. 'I'm like, 'What the hell is going on? There's a tow truck coming and taking my car!' I thought it was stolen at first,' he said. When he figured out what had happened, Paul posted the black-and-white footage of his truck being towed away, adding a soundtrack of Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On.

18% quarterly jump in homeowner mortgage repossessions
The number of mortgaged homeowners having their home repossessed jumped by nearly a fifth in the first quarter of this year, compared with the previous three months, according to figures from a banking and finance industry body. Some 1,220 homeowner repossessions were recorded by UK Finance in the first quarter of this year, marking an 18% rise compared with the last three months of 2024. There were also 810 buy-to-let home repossessions in the first quarter of this year, marking a 16% rise on the previous quarter. UK Finance said that, although repossession numbers increased, they remain low compared with the longer-term. It said that the 2,030 homeowner and buy-to-let repossessions in the first quarter of 2025 was significantly lower than the 13,200 repossessions seen in the first quarter of 2009, during the global financial crisis. Current repossessions predominantly relate to older mortgages, the report said, with more than two-thirds of repossessions relating to mortgages arranged at least a decade ago. UK Finance said that lenders will always seek to ensure customers remain in their homes and repossession is only ever a last resort after other options have been explored with the customer. The figures also showed that in the first quarter of 2025, there were 90,140 homeowner mortgages in arrears. This was a 2% decrease compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. The number of buy-to-let mortgages in arrears fell by 6% compared with the previous quarter, to 11,830. UK Finance said the number of homeowner and buy-to-let mortgages in early arrears has fallen, indicating that any rise in total arrears in the next quarter would be limited. It said anyone who is worried about their mortgage payments should reach out to their lender at the earliest opportunity to discuss the options available. Some mortgage rates have been drifting downwards in recent weeks, amid expectations over Bank of England base rate cuts. Several lenders have also recently changed their affordability assessments to make it easier for some borrowers to access mortgage finance. Charles Roe, director of mortgages at UK Finance, said: 'The number of mortgages in arrears fell slightly compared to the previous quarter and the arrears numbers appear to now be on a downward trend. The recent cuts in interest rates and mortgage rates will also help households with their monthly bills. 'This is a positive development, but we recognise that some households may still be struggling. Lenders are committed to supporting anyone facing financial difficulties and offer a range of tailored solutions. If you're worried about your finances, please reach out to your lender as soon as possible to discuss the help available.'
