From a Termite-Infested House to a Brand-New Home

John M. Pogue | U.S. Navy Veteran | Credit Avenger Founder

When John married his wife, he moved into her older home — one that hadn’t been properly maintained for years. It wasn’t long before the problems became clear: high utility bills, termite infestations, and even a snake in the kitchen.

At the time, John was facing his own financial challenges. “Even debt collectors have debt,” he admits. But instead of staying stuck, he took his own advice — working with a debt settlement company, rebuilding his credit, and preparing for something better.

Once his finances were back in shape, John used his VA loan benefits — no money down, no mortgage insurance — to buy a brand-new home.

“My wife had never had anything new in her life. Seeing her walk into that new home for the first time was one of the proudest moments of my life.”

What started as a struggle became a symbol of hope — proof that anyone can rebuild, recover, and rise again.
