Six homeowners arrested while protesting in St. Louis at Bank of America - pix

several pics.

fter an hour of protesting and singing parody Christmas Carols outside Bank of America, to attempt to work help a family in day 408 of the loan modification process, six people were arrested by Clayton, Missouri police attempting to enter the Bank branch. Someone inside the bank was repeatedly told that Bank of America would get someone on the phone to deal with Mike and Mary Boehm’s loan, but negotiations proved fruitless. At that point, one homeowner with a January 10th sale date and 5 friends and neighbors of the Boehms attempted to enter the bank and were arrested, at 7800 Forsyth Boulevard. The demonstrators were accosted and quickly arrested and are still being processed. Pictures and the local news release are attached.

The Story: When Mike Boehm lost his job in 2009, he and his wife, Mary, applied for a Making Home Affordable (HAMP) loan modification from Bank of America. “They told us it would take 45 days to get our modification. It has been 408 days and they still can’t tell us if we’re approved,” says Mary, a homeschool teacher whose days have been consumed with calls to Bank of America. “Not once has Bank of America called us. Every call—the hundreds of calls—we have initiated. Oh, except the other day. Yes, once, they called us, and that was a collection call.”

Mike, who is now working as a Buyer for an Illinois based company, has done everything he can to be able afford to continue making payments. “We are current on the modified payments that Bank of America told us to make and they are still foreclosing on us” says Mike.

According to St. Louis area housing counselors, Bank of America is one of the worst servicers for families seeking permanent loan modifications under the Making Home Affordable (HAMP) Program. Bank of America ignores repeated calls, refuses to modify loans, and will not assign people in trouble to one counselor.

Posted without comment from the DOY hopeful. C'mon Anne. In order to win the award, you have to open your mouth and show the world how smart you are.

Why don't you mention this:

During the 2008 elections, Bank of America’s PAC gave $928,000 to federal candidates, of which 53% went to Democrats.

1. Solidarity!
   
We need more of this.

Make sure you keep you ass in the big city. You get out in the country with that attitude and they'll feed you to the hogs.

As I mentioned, it's new.


Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

  • Oh snap!
Maybe if bought a house within your budget and paid your mortgage on time, you wouldn't be in this situation.

No sympathy here.

That article was a published piece in the newspaper?  Very poorly written, musta been one of the newly hired MoveOn reporters.
Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?***Ronald Reagan

Yet another grand failure for our young inexperienced president.

IIRC, yesterday Drudge had a headline stating that 46% of the loan mods that have been made went back into default in the last year.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

If this is true, there was an enormous waste of money in this whole fiasco.

Pretty much sums up the entire Zero administration for the last 2 years

Everyone of these losers thought O'Bumbler's stash was a bottomless pit! How dare they have to actually pay what they owe!

Everything was supposed to be free after Obwana took office! The rich are supposed to give up their houses and give them to the DUmmies!

I think that's the same little gang of sour-faced losers that shows up in every demonstration picture spread posted by proud2bDUmb Ann. They must be the entire Kansas City communist cell.
