Jodie Randolph on the porch of her small house in Alameda, CA
Jodie Randolph and her possessions are about to go out onto the street, because Morgan Stanley has something better to do with her home than let her live there.
Jodie has been fighting to stay in her home for years. Companies affiliated with Morgan Stanley shuttled the loan around from one subsidiary to the other until they foreclosed on her. Morgan Stanley’s tactics have included:
- pushing her into a predatory refinance.
- Moving her loan around from company to company so she couldn’t get a fix on who to negotiate with
- Removing the lawyer for Morgan Stanley who was actually negotiating with Jodie when they were close to reaching a mutually acceptable plan; and
- Stunningly, breaking in and changing the locks to her house WHILE SHE WAS AT A CHEMOTHERAPY SESSION
Since lawyers have failed her, Jodie is fighting back the people’s way.
Please take three minutes to view this video of Jodie talking about her fight with Morgan Stanley et al, spanning years and increasing in desperation.
