McKay described her experience as a nightmare, which was shared on FOX4 Problem Solvers in November. She had to hire a new attorney and return to court to fight two fake liens filed against her home by a former neighbor, Gary Michael Peloza. Peloza claimed that he was the real owner, and McKay had to spend over $12,000 in attorney fees to resolve the issue.
McKay had a smooth win in court this time around, as it was her second appearance and Peloza didn’t bother showing up.
