The Commonwealth Court in Pennsylvania ruled on Monday that the western Pennsylvania widow who lost her home when it was sold at auction because she owed $6.30 in unpaid interest will get a chance to go back to court and argue why she should not lose her home.

Eileen Battisti, who still llives in the home that she and her late husband purchased in 1999, paid off the property in 2004 after she received the insurance money from her husband’s death. But, even though she thought she was keeping up on her tax bill from the local tax collection authority, she neglected to pay the $6.30 interest that was tacked onto her bill in 2009. The interest grew from the original amount in 2009 to $235 by late 2011. It was then that the woman’s home was put on the auction block.

The $280,000 home was bought by Imperial resident S P Lewis for the sum of $116,000 in 2011. Battisti appealed the sale. In 2012 the county court said that she had received all of the notices required by Pennsylvania law.

The attorney for Lewis, David Holland, also stated that the sale was legal and above board because Battisti had received all of the notices prior to the sale. The attorney offered to settle the dispute last year if Lewis was paid $160,000 by Battisti.

Battisti still is living in the home even though it was sold in 2011. Pennsylvania Judge C. Gus Kwindis ordered that no deed could be issued while the case was in appeal.

The Associated Press reported that the Beaver County Court erred by ruling against Battisti without holding an evidentiary hearing.
