A friend of mine just alerted me to this demonstration taking place tomorrow here in Detroit. This will be a short diary because this is all the information I have, so forgive me. If you live in Michigan and can get to the demonstration, that'd be great, if not please call. Make this Stop!
Michelle Hart and her elderly mother, who is being treated for pancreatic cancer, WILL BE HOMELESS ON JUNE 1, 2009, FROM AN EVICTION BY BANK OF AMERICA AND COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS IF YOU DON'T HELP!
Michelle Hart, as with many borrowers, was placed in an ARM loan by Countrywide resulting in a dramatic increase in her mortgage payment. When Ms. Hart sought modification assistance she was refused, even after explaining about her mother’s illness.
Bank of America and Countrywide were given $45 billion dollars in federal bailout money, with another $125 billion in loans guaranteed by the government. Based on their receipt of TARP funds, they are required to assist borrowers with loan modifications. They are under contract to modify loans under President Obama’s Making Homes Affordable program. Countrywide is also under a consent judgment in Michigan to modify loans because of their predatory practices.
Despite all this, Countrywide and their parent, Bank of America, have refused to help Ms. Hart and her mother. Bank of America and Countrywide are evicting Ms. Hart and her disabled, ill mother with your tax dollars. Stop This Eviction Now!!!!
YOU CAN HELP--CALL BANK OF AMERICA CEO KEN LEWIS AT (704) 386-5687 AND TELL THEM TO KEEP MICHELLE HART AND HER MOTHER IN THEIR HOME. The address is 27685 Sutherland, Southfield, MI 48076 and Loan No. is 1380009372
KEEP CALLING UNTIL BANK OF AMERICA AND COUNTRYWIDE KEEP THIS FAMILY IN THEIR HOME
