Demand that Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank end sickness evictions.
In America, you shouldn’t lose your home and everything you spent a lifetime working for because you got sick. Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening to Ana Wilson and Jacqueline Barber.
Please join us in calling on Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank to end sickness evictions.
Ana Casas Wilson was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. Her husband had to take some time off to care for her. When he returned to work their income quickly rebounded, but they had missed some mortgage payments on their Los Angeles home. They tried to get back on track and work with the bank on modifications. Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank foreclosed on Ana even though she was able to make her payments.
Jacqueline Barber spent 20 years on the Atlanta police force, only retiring when injured by a car in the line of duty. In 2009, the predatory loan on her house caused her monthly payment to rise by $1,500, and she fought to stay current. Then she was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer and had to undergo aggressive treatment to save her life. She fought the disease and spent months filling out forms and asking for modifications to her mortgage. Wells Fargo sold Jacqueline’s loan to U.S. Bank while saying, at the same time, they would work with her (a dubious practice called “dual tracking”).
Tell Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank to end these morally repugnant sickness evictions, At Health Care for America Now, we believe no medical condition should cost someone their home and everything they’ve worked for.
Petition signatures will be delivered on Tuesday, Oct. 30, so we need your signature today.http://corporateactionnetwork.org/petitions/join-hcan-in-telling-wells-fargo-and-us-bank-to-end-sickness-evictions
