Greedy Banks Took His Home, He Is Fighting Back!

Cuentame
In 2008, Arturo de los Santos, a former Marine who lives with his wife and four children in Riverside, CA, fell victim to the economic crash caused by the greed of those on Wall Street. Like millions of Americans, he faced the prospect of mortgage default. Arturo was then encouraged by JPMorgan Chase & Co. to deliberately fall behind on his payments in order to modify his loan. A loan owned by Freddie Mac. Thinking the bank had his best intentions in mind, Arturo followed their instructions. Instead, JPMorgan greedily foreclosed on him, evicting Arturo and his family. Since then, Arturo has decided to fight back and re-occupy his home, even as he faces the possibility of arrest!

Arturo could be forcefully removed from his house at any time. Cuéntame and the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) are working together to spread Arturo's story as wide as possible and tell JP Morgan and Freddie Mac that the abuse must end today! We need your help.

    • Give people anonymity and their true colors come out. I see it every day while driving, people are aggressive, unsafe and discourteous in their cars, they do things they wouldn't do if they had to look you in the eye. Its a social disease on a mass level.
      There must be some moral consciousness in business transactions. Its a shame that laws need to be made to implement common sense, not everything is black and white.
      No doubt it is his responsibility to make the payments he agreed to, but
      this is not some speed boat he missed a payment on, this is their home. There needs to be some leniency to facilitate fairness in regards to the gravity of the families lives.
