let me let me respond or don't let me ask you a question. here on this board is what we have in the bank we have our knives out. but if you feel the slightest bad staying there again here into the race will be an ideal way to talk about surveillance. however at the break of the recession we had this huge surge where we had a tripling in the number of families who were on the wait list for shelter and that reached the highest point ever about a month ago we had
11:46 pm
a increase in the number of people who were single adults who were homeless about a fifty percent increase there we have about sixty percent of all the people right now seeking shelter are homeless for the very first time in the united states especially of plays a very central role because it's this very much this culture where if you just work hard you can get ahead and that there's this idea then that if they if people aren't able to get ahead that it's their.

but they have missed a lot of processes think there's been cases where people we've talked to where people are even given a foreclosure notice and they get evicted or the house is sold in auction they don't know anything about it and so you know that's illegal however there are many of these laws unfortunately. are there are civil violations or there's no regulation around them and the banks do whatever the hell they want about a month behind at that point with aurora loan services and i really approached them with the little effort to find out what were my options so what they told me i should do is to they offered me a loan modification of september it was

11:49 pm
thought it was a bad dream or something i would try and hit myself to wake up here they sold the house to. the new owner and the new owner. when i had left to go as i said i'm a day care provider i went to drop all of my granddaughter to school when i came back of i saw a lot of people standing in front of my gate where they had changed the locks on my gate i could not get into my house. with the increase of insolvency procedures coming on to the desks of bankers credit institutions decided to take a much shorter and easier way to deal with the amount of paper robo signing with this method they were able to fake signatures needed in documents to proceed with foreclosure practice they can do all this without even looking at the papers every bank when they're going through foreclosure have to go through a process right in their laws that actually. they don't monitor but there are laws
11:50 pm
that they're supposed to abide by however most banks are followed by that because there are so many foreclosures that they're killing at the same time one of the big ones is something called robo signing. what they found is that you. potentially thousands of foreclosures that were simply just being rubber stamped with no evaluation of the documentation or. the note maybe the foreclosing party didn't even have a right to foreclose so when that broke in the fall of two thousand and ten when that story came out everyone to know we've got to stop the foreclosures because we

work here today is january twentieth and we're out here in san francisco with lots of people protesting for lots of different reasons it's part of the occupy movement but also a lot of people are out here that have been organized in struggle here in the city for their rights for housing rights for tenant rights for all sorts of things before the occupy movement really coalesced like last year. the crime of false witnesses in economic fraud linked with the scandal of robo
11:53 pm
signing was acknowledged by a government agreement it was altered in a fine of twenty billion dollars to be paid by the banks a subsidy of only one thousand eight hundred dollars was due to those who had seen their houses illegally foreclosed. and now moved by and there was an investigation and a recently announced the national mortgage settlement which addressed which was a as a result of the ruble signing scandal. and. it's it's tough to think about. all of the homes of the us. and to know that some many of them may not only have been lost due to loans should have never been made but they're also due to for closures that never

11:55 pm
is borrowed is due in two weeks and so our problem with payday loans is that interest rates are extremely high three hundred sixty percent four hundred percent four hundred sixty percent really high numbers. well paid and so many lenders get financing from banks and what we've seen happening lately the last few years is banks actually offering payday loans and sell so wells fargo which is headquartered here in cisco u.s. bank this third bank these are all banks that offer should pool digit interest loans to their customers and essentially it works the same way as a payday loan you go where no credit check they put the money directly into your
11:56 pm
