Foreclosure updates on some of the 5 women who fought back against Foreclosure

[annm4peace]

There are thousands of Foreclosures that continue to happen every week in Minnesota.

It can be emotionally devastating to those going through it, whether they fight back or not. For the men it seems to much to even try to fight back. It is more women that fight back than men. Just an observation.

the majority of the them are in Michele Bachman's district.

I have posted previously of some women who have been fighting back. Some of these women have lost their homes, but not their soul and have come out empowered and stronger.

I have been advised the best group right now that helps people fight to keep their home is Habitat for Humanities.

Here is the latest update.

POOR PEOPLE'S ECONOMIC HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN:

Foreclosure updates

ALL FOUR OF THE WOMEN BELOW WORK FULL OR ALMOST FULL TIME and have painstakingly followed all (ever-changing) rules and directives month after month.

Ann Patterson reports that Wells Fargo locked out her house in late July in order to "secure the property." But security must not have been the aim because they neglected to lock the side door. Unfortunately she cannot make a case and take them to court because she no longer resides there. She ultimately chose not to proceed with re-modification because of an extremely long, grueling and emotionally exhausting run-around. The bank kept assigning a different representative who told her to start all over faxing documents, etc. and based payment calculations on gross rather than net income, which resulted in un-affordable rates. It comes as no surprise to read statistics on Wells Fargo's having the absolute WORST record of processing load re-modifications in 2009 and early this year.

MNPPEHRC recently began working with another Wells Fargo homeowner who has been struggling with them for almost two years to re-modify her loan. Stopping a September sheriff's sale is critical to her winning, but this year, as foreclosure resistance has taken different paths from 2009, she will be likely to adopt a new approach.

Meanwhile, Leslie Parks is STILL in negotiation with the bank. She sent in the paperwork in mid July and her bank IS in communication. She is optimistic that a fixed-rate mortgage will be created for her at a truly affordable rate. The deal may not be complete for several weeks so she continues to wait patiently.

Linda Norenberg signed a re-modification agreement months ago but the bank still keeps sending her bills in differing amounts. Until it is finalized she continues to remain cautious but nonetheless we are congratulating her on the victory! Together with support from family and organizations and especially her lawyer, Linda stood her family ground and never gave up! Her story inspires others.

WE TOO KEEP ON KEEPING ON SPREADING HOPE, RECREATING, RECONNECTING, RE-ENVISIONING,
FIGHTING, AND NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVING UP!
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

1. Reading these types of stories makes me furious at Obama and Klobuchar

When I read about the problems so many are having thanks to the policies supported by Obama and Klobuchar, I am furious beyond words. The two of them have changed my view of politics forever. I used to believe that more than a handful of politicians could be honest and sincere servants of the people. What hallucinogen was I taking?

By the way, yesterday Klobuchar said that if Kelliher had won it would have been a victory for the grassroots. Ha ha, about 1/8 of Kelliher's contributions came from lobbyists. These politicians are such damned liar and connivers. No wonder so many do not bother voting. When we have politicians such as these, why bother voting for them. They are just owned by special interests and the rich.

2. Klobuchar takes money from big ag

3. Good to know about Kelliher

It also confirms the people need to get out and fightback. We have a lot more power than we know.

The CEO's and high ups at the banks really don't like to be protested. They absolutely hate it.

Look what happened to Target.


Do you know that Wells Fargo is advertising itself as a "Your Community Bank".

If you are in foreclosure by Wells Fargo.. Gather about 10 of your family and friends and go to the corner of 28th St and 4th Ave in Minneapolis with some signs.. Make sure to make the writing really large. Usually black ink on white or yellow shows the best.
Better yet, take a large sheet and write out your words in black, or red duct tape.

and Protest for 2-3 hours. I'm telling you. It would freak them out. If you were able to get 20 people.. they would probably even call out the police.

But fear not,, you have freedom of speech.

4. Thanks for the update

I am just appalled on how little support we get from our local politicians, especially RT who could have used the bully pulpit a little. The corporate media has had complete control of the situation all of the way and has been able to fix all the problems on the victims. The politicians are mostly just realistic and know how little the average voter knows and has to take money from anyone they can to run
enough ads to get elected by sound bites.
