Detroit to

Demand Not One More Foreclosure/Eviction in Michigan

Part of National Days of Action against J.P. Morgan Chase

Alma Counts is a partially paralyzed wheel-chair bound senior citizen
who lives on a fixed income. After facing a foreclosure crisis in 2008
stemming from a predatory refinance loan by the criminal Washington
Mutual Bank [[WAMU), Ms. Counts entered into a loan modification
agreement with WAMU in March 2009. Ms. Counts diligently made her
modified payments until her account was taken over by J.P. Morgan
Chase which doubled her payments and now is threatening foreclosure of
Ms. Counts.

Ms. Counts' situation is being repeated in thousands of homes across
Michigan and nationwide. At the press conference, organizers will cite
other examples of abuses by Chase: Sterling Heights homeowner, entered
into a special medical hardship payment agreement -- made payments --
house sold at Sheriff's sale; Northville widow-- husband died during
the course of the litigation from pre-existing medical conditions
while fighting to save his home from Chase foreclosure; Southfield
homeowner -- was working, had heart surgery with pacemaker inserted --
made payments on loan modification based on medical hardship and
decrease in income -- --foreclosed on by Chase; Bloomfield family --
in permanent loan modification, made 10 payments, home put in
foreclosure.

Despite a federal Consent Order last year with the Comptroller of the
Currency in which Chase committed to an action plan to eliminate
fraudulent foreclosure practices including implementing a program of
"special forbearances and modifications," and the recent "settlement
agreement" with the federal government and 49 attorney generals in
which J.P. Morgan Chase and 4 other major banks acknowledged their
fraudulent practices, J.P. Morgan Chase and the other banks are
continuing to deny loan modifications and throw families out of their
homes every day.

Detroit to Demand Not One More Foreclosure/Eviction in Michigan

This response is not a support of Chase's foreclose & eviction, but rather an explanation of its' "bailout".

J. P. Morgan Chase was one of many banks that refused Federal money because its balance sheet was solid. The Federal government forced them, along with other banks who refused the money, to take it. Uncle Sam feared that there would be o run on the banks who took money since it would give the appearance of being on shakey ground. If everyone took the money, the public would view all as in bad shape.

It really doesn't matter whether they took the bailout money or not. Their continued pursuit of fraudulent foreclosures, their foreclosing on people who have made the proper payments under renegotiated agreements, and their casual disregard for a standing federal court order to cease these practices, is appalling. It shows them to be the worst kind of bullying corporate citizen, one with no regard for their customers, the public, or the law.

Another clarification: the "bailouts" weren't meant so much to prevent banks from going under [[maybe one or two of them) but to free up the commercial paper markets that had ground to a halt. Those are the very short-term loans businesses need to operate. It was the freezing of these markets that was a major factor in the initial collapse.

Chase or any other of these so called "big banks" don't give a _hit about people, unless you have major deposits in their bank.
