The federal government has announced a new plan to help homeowners facing foreclosure, but it may be to late for one eastern Carolina Couple.

Frank Leach of Chicod in Pitt County is six months behind on his mortgage and is being evicted Friday.

Leach, who lives in the home with his wife and son, was diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy and unable to work. Even with help from his son...the bills continue to pile up.

It wasn't until last month that Leach was approved for disability. But he says the mortgage company has told him it is simply too late.

With time running out it has yet to be determined if the Leach's qualify for the new home loan bailout.
