CF_0222110: Housing castaways ... inside - outside and the house of Dimonds |
I |
By April 2009, I no longer existed. We had put our house on the market as that was part of the "old" prescription for CHASE Homeowners assistance -- pre 12/2008...and had no offers for many months.My first (11/2008) conversation with the realtor from F.C. Tucker Company, Inc., was straightforward...I wanted to list the house at $150,000..I was told that was not possible, the bank would never agree to that, but in April 2009 an offer of approximately $149,000 was made to CHASE, with fees etc. to support the realty tree -- at a total of $165,000 was accepted. That deal failed 2-3 hours before close, despite the buyer putting $1,500 earnest money and 3% down -- killed by an issue of self-employment 2 years earlier. Then it was 4 weeks in manual underwriting..no communication, strings tightening. We'd covered all the territory between $195-148,000 with no result. The realtor exited at this time, his efforts and our sale were going nowhere, Realty's interest dead, and stacks of homes near mine on a similar rope. |
July, 2009, CHASE staff advsied me to move back in -- we had left on May 4th at the direction of CHASE and realty, so about mid-July 2009, we reoccupied our house. I was encouraged to apply for one of the many "new" homeowners assistance packages now the talk of all media, everywhere across foreclosureland. After two months of paying utilities to prove my residence, I did just that, feverishly completing all the forms, updating financial data and sending it off Express Mail, confirmed delivered, but useless. In late September, 2009 I was contacted by CHASE, and told if I made a payment now, "today," I could automatically qualify for a loan adjustment or payment modification. If not they were initiating foreclosure, mailings to that affect were received at the same time. But, what about my recent submission for modification consideration? I was told by the CSR, "I do not have time to get into that, you can take advantage of this offer, or I have to hang up." N I C E!, I said I would pay $1,000 the next Thursday, .."thanks, your contract is in the mail, ..click" |

¦¦ wrote to Jamie Dimond, J. P. Morgan Chase & Company, 2004–, president and COO, for the 1st time in December of 2008. We, well his office filterers (staff) and I, would correspond a few more times while my issues were "considered", my case "reviewed" and an equitable solution "realized." Over the next 15 months we have tred water expecting that there would be no consideration, no review, and no resolution, ...ever? Maybe? When? If? How to keep a home, devalued over 25%, while treading the (right to work) employment, health insurance, and realities of our current USA? How? I am not sure yet about the outcome, but the economic illness, and prescriptions, are painful and include ready doses of deceit. Mr. Dimond's staff responded by offering a review from the Executive Outcomes office (see documents), where I was passed on to Ms. X, Mrs. Y, and Mr Z -- you probably have heard of them...then I was left with...nothing, as no one responded to me, again. |
