Walking into a pit of snakes was not part of the plan. My plan, anyway.
I was born and raised in the costal college town of Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, where I received a bilingual education. I grew up among the colors and flavors of the Caribbean, heavily influenced by American culture that seeped in through the books I read, the television I watched and the language I spoke among my friends. I knew very early on, that one day I would leave the island for the States.
That brought me to Texas in 2014. Where in 2020, while working in the luxury automotive industry leading the company’s SEO and Website efforts, I found myself looking for land at the height of the pandemic. That’s when we came across Colony Ridge.
I bought three pieces of land. My family and I were excited about the possibilities of our purchase after believing everything our sales representative told us and we eventually started pouring our resources into preparing one of the lots. That excitement turned dark too soon. My sister received a letter telling her falsely that she had never made any of the payments from this lot and it was going into foreclosure. In fact she had been making her payments at the dropbox in Colony Ridge’s office.
From then on we became part of a battle that still remains to this day. The battle started from our personal experience and is now one that involves hundreds of people who have been through hardships at the hands of Colony Ridge through our Terrenos Houston Demanda website.
They have tried to intimidate us into silence. Not just intimidate, we have been stalked and harassed by the cartels associated with this developer. And all of this is coming from people, we trusted with our drivers licenses, social security cards, and addresses. I don’t think they understood that the harassment, which has been their biggest weapon would be their downfall.
The fight continues…
Consider Donating to Terrenos Houston Demanda
This website has been a self-funded citizen effort to spread the word about Colony Ridge and what they have done to their victims. We have been harassed because of these efforts while being a crucial bridge for the Federal Government to hear from victims of what the DOJ and CFPB consider a land scheme.
