Leslie Parks Foreclosure Update.

Update :

Earlier this year, we met Leslie Parks who is fighting to save her house at 38th and Park Ave South in Minneapolis. Her mother, signed an ARM, which would eventually triple, and they were forced into foreclosure. The family Duplex was once valued at around $300,000, but at Sherif's sale, it sold for $63,000. Leslie, remained in her house refusing to leave and was supported by activists that set up camp there. Right before Thanksgiving, there was a break-thru in negotiations with IndyMac, her lender. They said they would rescind the finalized Sherif's sale, and begin re-negotiations with her. On Nov 30th, Leslie and Activists met with IndyMac on the phone at Habitat for Humanity, and then they sent her a document reassuring her she still could possibly refinance her home.

Last night when Leslie returned home from work in blizzard, she found the locks changed on her home. Eight days after IndyMac reassured her, the locks were changed, without the negotiations seamingly breaking down. Was there a miscommunication, or is IndyMac playing hardball?

Today, Leslie Parks, and MN Coalition for a People's Bailout activist Linden Gawboy were at the Hennepin County Government Center to file a complaint...

I left Leslie, to drive to her house and video the locks, and I would find someone there on her property. The Security for the lender, was there to "let Leslie into the house he said". He said he was from "Field Asset Services" as he photographed her protest signs on her garage.
