Nell Myhand (1329 E. 32nd St Oakland CA 94602) lived with her partner, Synthia, for over ten years. They fell behind on their mortgage payments after Synthia became disabled and Nell lost her job. Synthia has been forced to move into assisted living because of the stress of threatened eviction. After they spent over two years and hundreds hours pursuing an affordable mortgage payment through the loan modification process, Freddie Mac, which was bailed out by tax payer dollars refused to approve a loan modification and supported Chase Bank in foreclosing and evicting Nell.
Freddie Mac and Chase Bank are now giving conflicting reasons as to why they did not modify the loan. They threatened to change the locks trying to bully Nell into leaving. Nell and Synthia have already paid over 2/3 of the value of their home but face being made homeless and being left with nothing. We demand that Chase work with Nell.
