JPMorgan Foreclosure Henchman Breaks Into Woman's House - Listen To Her TERRIFYING 911 Call
http://www.businessinsider.com/jpmorgan-breaks-into-womans-house-listen-to-her-terrifying-911-call-2010-10

Nancy, a woman not in foreclosure, called 911 last Tuesday because a man was breaking into her house. The call is terrifying - he breaks in, "hangs around," and she locks herself in the bathroom.

Then tons of police show up and we later find out (in the news video below) that he's been hired and sent by JPMorgan, her mortgage company.

The bank claims the home was abandoned because she never established a mortgage payment plan and the home was abandoned because utilities had been shut off.

Obviously, that's not true. The homeowner says she's there all the time, and her electricity and water bills, etc are all current. Her mortgage payments are three months late. She's filing a lawsuit.

How this might be connected to the 56,000 foreclosures JPMorgan recently froze (because their employees didn't read them), we don't know, because the woman's home wasn't in foreclosure, but clearly there's some wild and uncouth stuff going on inside that mortgage department.

Listen to the 911 Call here:

A lot of really bad stuff is happening out there in foreclosure-land where banksters are completely out of control. The media just ignores it all.

This site, 4closureFraud.org, is attempting to log some of the problems.

1. If I were on the jury for her case.....
I would award her double the total of all JPMorgan executives bonuses for that year.

2. They call it "securing the collateral property." Banks hire people to cut locks, disconnect garage
doors, even (and I have this on good authority) remove beer from the refrigerator. This is so routine that if, say, the person is still living there, or even if the bank has agreed to a workout, often the house is still "secured," sometimes repeatedly, in this way. It's not that they're "intentionally" doing wrong. They just. Don't. Care.

We should make them care.

3. Which is why they made the rule that only the Sheriff's office could act to foreclose
on people's homes and evict the homeowner.

But banksters are ignoring the rules and courts are allowing them to do so.

4. Securing the collateral is not foreclosure. They are simply "protecting" the property.

5. Securing the property=Breaking and Entering
The only difference between the two is banksters own the courts and the media.

7. You're right. Although they'd say the mortgage you sign permits it.
Edited on Thu Oct-07-10 08:53 AM by DirkGently
And in "ordinary" circumstances, it makes sense. Many people who default quit the premises, sometimes after having engaged in some spiteful "deconstruction" of the house, and you end up with an empty hulk that's a fire hazard, crime-attractor, and eyesore.

Problem is, those "ordinary" circumstances are now complicated by mistaken or unfairly conducted foreclosures, and the frantic pace demanded by the lenders and their foreclosure lawyers makes it nearly impossible to derail. People who have entered into workouts or settlements find those threatening door hangers keep reappearing, seemingly of their own accord. And the police are generally uninterested in investigating or arresting anyone who does those things improperly. "It's a civil matter."

Less civil all the time.

6. Someone is going to do something like this...
The banksters will break in.

The homeowner will call 9-11, tell the operator that someone is breaking in at such and such an address, that they think the thug has a gun and that they are afraid for their life. They should also mention that they warned the thug that the homeowner is armed. Then they will hang up the phone, walk up to the bank thug and pop a cap into their ass (or worse) and then pick up the phone and walk slowly out of the house while redialing 9-11 and saying "I thought he had a gun" over and over.

Or some versions of this will happen. I know if someone breaks into my house then they will not recieve a civilized welcome. At the very least I'll be taking my bat and swinging for the fences.

8. Could happen. Although theoretically they don't do this if anyone is living in the house.

They tend to come in the middle of the day. Breaking in and changing locks and so forth isn't part of the eviction process -- that's generally done with a Sheriff's deputy / police officer, for exactly the reason you mention. This "securing" of the property is done on the *assumption* no one is living in the house -- although note -- if the people doing the "securing" arrive and find a house full of furniture, skillet cooling on the stove, etc., they don't necessarily stop their lock-cutting festivities.

It can work as a chilling, aggressive maneuver, albeit the banks would say none of that is intentional -- they just don't do anything about it when it goes wrong.



Editted for speling.
