Leslie Parks’ bank just issued an ultimatum that she obtain financing to close on buying her home for $100,000 by May 15th. Clearly time is critical, especially given that city programs that might have helped are “out of money.” IF YOU KNOW of any lender who would facilitate a fixed-rate mortgage agreement with her even though her good credit rating was ruined as a result of her bank’s policies and actions –PLEASE contact us ASAP!
Meanwhile she will be speaking Friday, April 9, 4:30 p.m., on behalf of Michael Kidd (1321 23rd Ave. in North Minneapolis)-see below for details.
Barbara Byrd STILL has not received ANY response from EMC Mortgage. She waits for a call, watches for a letter, and listens every day for a knock on the door, wondering what’s going to happen.
Linda Norenberg is PREPARING to celebrate her victory–but NOT until papers are signed on a rate that she can afford to keep her family home in Robbinsdale. Hats off to Linda, her family and supporters…and especially to her generous lawyer Kelly for keeping up the pressure for so many months on the bank, holding out for an acceptable outcome.
Ann Patterson continues to fight for her home. She just wrote a letter to the Better Business Bureau describing the year-long run-around that Wells Fargo gave her instead of remodifying her loan. Apparently a neighbor, after a year of the same with her bank, received an immediate affordable offer from IndyMac OneWest bank after she had contacted the Better Business Bureau. So Ann resumes wait-mode in discussion with the FIFTH consecutive bank representative regarding her loan. Her mounds of documents are ready to fax yet again. BRAVO Ann!
Rosemary Williams started out from New Orleans April 4th on the PPEHRC caravan and March to Fulfill the Dream http://www.ussf2010.org/node/68 from the Delta to Detroit in time for the U.S.Social Forum (USSF) being held June 22-26. She has been making preliminary contacts with activists in the cradle of the Civil Rights Movement in cities en-route like Selma, Birmingham, and Montgomery. Many of us from Minnesota will be joining the caravan and/or attending the USSF. She plans on returning to Minneapolis briefly in mid-April, then rejoining the marchers as she continues inspiring others along the way with her message of resistance.
