A young widowed mother and her 8-year-old son have been left homeless and are currently living in a camper after approximately $146,000 they paid toward a new manufactured home vanished following the sudden closure of Yurezz Home Center. Amber Hancock, who lost her husband last year, made the massive upfront down payment on a $264,000 Timber Creek home, only to discover that the business has ceased operations, disconnected its phone lines, and wiped its entire online and social media presence.
The situation unfolded on June 11, 2026, when Hancock attempted to contact her sales representative to coordinate pouring the foundation for her new home. Finding all communication channels blocked, she eventually learned that the company had abruptly shuttered its locations and terminated its employees. Upon reaching out to the home's manufacturer, Timber Creek, and the financing company, 21st Mortgage, Hancock was informed that neither entity had ever received her $146,000. The funds allegedly remain entirely with Yurezz Home Center. Hancock claims she briefly reached the company's owner, who reportedly admitted the business had oversold homes and ran out of money to fulfill orders, before he went completely off the radar and blocked her.
Hancock is far from alone in this housing nightmare. She estimates that between 75 and 200 other families are facing similar circumstances, with an online support group of over 75 affected buyers already forming to pool documentation, contracts, and receipts. Shockingly, Hancock alleges that Yurezz Home Center continued aggressively pocketing large customer deposits as recently as early June 2026, just days before shutting down completely.
Currently stranded in a camper with her young son and four pets, Hancock has launched a GoFundMe campaign and is pleading for legal guidance from attorneys experienced in consumer fraud. While lenders have advised her to take legal action, she fears a resolution could take years if tied up in court alongside dozens of other victims.
At this time, these claims remain allegations, and the full legal scope of the company's closure is still being evaluated. State authorities recommend that any consumers impacted by the sudden closure of Yurezz Home Center immediately compile all contracts, receipts, canceled checks, and written correspondence. Affected parties are strongly urged to file formal complaints with the Georgia Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division to help investigators assess the full scale of the potential consumer fraud.
