True confession: I bought a foreclosed home & put a family on the street.

       It’s one of the most diabolical and hideous evils throughout the history of mankind—just outright stealing people’s homes. If the banks were honest, and the lawmakers were honest … then a person’s home would be sold to pay the debt and the remainder of the money returned to the home owner.    -David J Stewart     

 
 
 
FORECLOSURE MEETING & PANEL

I didn’t know what I do today. My father was a Real Estate Broker. My husband was making 75K to 100K/year give or take.
 
We bought a 3 bedroom home in

Buena Park for $2500.00 down. I didn’t know or even think about who might have lived there and called the place “Home, Sweet Home”.
 
It wasn’t dear to me at all. It was cha-ching. I think about it now and can’t believe what I was a part of. No doubt it was a family with young children, I remember the big wheels and trikes left in the back yard. My son Blaise was barely 3 years old and he hopped right on that big wheel and owned it, spinning noisy 360′s while his dad and I slapped cheap paint, veneer, and a whole bunch of cosmetics from Home Depot on that little house, and BAM! DONE! FLIPPED IT and never even so much as snapped a polaroid of it, that’s how much the little house meant to us. It was the mid 1980′s and thanks to the timely foreclosure by the bank, we pocketed close to 60K in 3 months.
 
We went to Europe and hired a carnival for Bianca’s 7th Birthday, a real carnival with clowns and rides, and goldfish that all the kids took home if they landed a ping pong ball in a glass bowl with a fish in it. Daaang,,, even that was pretty heartless. All those dying fish suffocating in a sandwich baggy after getting hit on the head by a huge ping pong ball.  What a couple of jerks. Now I’m pretty broke, propertyless,  and I stole someone’s house and well, the least I can do is help others to become more aware of what I wasn’t aware of back then.
 
So check it out, here’s what we can do – there is a goal to occupy 50 homes going through foreclosure by March! We can do it. First don’t stay dumb forever, I almost did. Let’s get educated:
 
FORECLOSURE  PANEL.

Geez, if only there were meetings like this one tonight, where people like me who actually has a heart but was simply uneducated on the facts. Foreclosure is evil business. 

We’ll be joining SAGE (Renter’s Rights) Carlos Marroquin,  Cheryl Aichele & that mighty force Occupy The Hood

11 Most Evil Things the Banking Industry Did in 2011

~ by Tim Thomas

 

It seems like every time we flipped on the news in 2011, the banking industry was finding a new way to blur the line between good business and reprehensible tyranny. Hardworking people, including war veterans, were kicked out of their homes illegally. Entire neighborhoods of vacant houses were destroyed. Meticulously orchestrated overdraft schemes ripped off consumers for billions. Federal crimes went unpunished.

Though publicists, spokesmen and spin doctors will ensure that many of 2011’s most damning financial headlines are swept into the dustbin of history, for countless Americans the story never ends. Because of one accounting error, or one forged signature, some of them will be forced to endure a financial nightmare for the rest of their lives. Their homes won’t be returned to them. Their credit scores won’t be rebuilt.

The industry will make it easy to forget the past. There will be new credit card offers, new reports showing growth in the market. New mortgages will be issued to young families. Banks and card issuers will dangle the financial carrot in front of our faces, and America will bite, because we always do. But before you take that fateful lunge, take a moment to reflect on the 11 most evil things the banking industry did in 2011.

My Favorites…

5. Bank Sues Thousands of Credit Card Customers via Robo-Signed Papers

9. Bank Arrests Its Own Customer for Cashing a Bank-Issued Check
