NOTICE OF DEFAULT
YOUR PROPERTY IS IN FORECLOSURE
———————————————————————————————————————————-
Wells Fargo collected 43.7 BILLION bailout dollars in taxpayer money, and you have since made record profits at the expense of low income communities, repeatedly breaking your legal and moral obligations as a creditor:
1. You have failed to comply with Loan
Modification Requirements under your own lending agreements.
2. You have used machines to falsify court
documents through “robo-signing,” rather than properly serving legally required notices to tenants and homeowners.
3. You pressured tenants & homeowners with lies and threats to give up their rights & court processes, & to vacate their homes.
4. You have targeted low income
neighborhoods, and minority groups, and non-English speakers in San Francisco to buy at inflated prices, and have mislead regarding terms of repayment.
5. Your practices, have led directly to the financial crisis that has increased unemployment, homelessness, and budget shortfalls at every stage of government in San Francisco, and across the US.

updates & morning feeder marches
