Ward Family Wrongful Foreclosure by Bank of America

Occupy Birmingham is taking a stand against Bank of America by occcupying the Ward family's home. Due to a real estate agent's fraud, the Wards are on the brink of losing their home even though they've NEVER MISSED A SINGLE PAYMENT. While they have the ability to continue paying their mortgage, Bank of America refuses to allow them to keep their home (they've already paid over $35,000.00) after a real estate agent pocketed two years of payments made on the property. Rather than allow the family to pay on the home,
the bank prefers to lose money and offer it up for auction on January 12, 2012.

Join us on the lawn of 2608 2nd Place NW 35215 to STOP Bank of America!

This is not BoA's fault, but it's not the Wards fault either. They were taken advantage of by a shameful person. I pray that BoA looks at the facts and works something out with this family. I know that's not the nomal, but it would be beneficial for both parties. The Bank would get paid and the Wards would keep their home. I live in Birmingham, even though I am not an occupy member, I do truly feel compassion for this family. They work hard and are willing to earn what they recieve.

I stand with the ward's and will fight to help them keep their home. Bank of America is not a good neighbor

@Kabulee411 Once again, you ignore the facts that don't suit your narrative. The Wards don't have a mortage with BofA. Apparently, Mr. Haikes did. The Wards are RENTING this house. BofA can't just give them this house. BofA MUST go through the legal process of foreclosure in order to clear the deed. You take on this cause with such a simplistic and frankly dumb rationale, and you refuse to look at any facts that don't suit you. It's ridiculous.

@AllynHudson The Wards don't have a mortgage with BofA. The bank is not responsible for this situation in any way. This couple made a series of really dumb decisions, and now they want the bank to pay for something the bank didn't do. The bank can't just "give" these people this house. Nor can the bank overlook normal standards for mortgage qualification to give them a mortgage. Seriously: At what point do the Wards become accountable for their bad decisions???

Bank of America foreclosed on our soldiers while they were serving our country. They have no mercy. Bank of America forged hundreds of thousands of mortgage documents to use in court. They will do just about anything to anyone. Let's stop them join the fight at Keep Bank of America Honest .com Also we are on FaceBook like our page Keep Bank of America Honest

This story is a travesty of justice. How dare Bank of America call themselves a good neighbor and refuse to work with this family. Bank of America is NOT a good neighbor and ANYONE that has money or debt with the should move it now! Center Point already has too many vacant homes and it cannot afford another one!

[Kabulee411]

Bank of America CAN easily work out a normal, reasonable agreement with the Ward family, whereby they can start making payments on THEIR HOME. Peter Haikes made only ONE payment on this house and that was the DOWN PAYMENT, after that the money went into his pockets. Bank of America is aware of this travesty, Bank of America has all the documents that prove this fraud, Bank of America supposedly "cares for your family", the Wards ARE a family. Let them keep THEIR HOME, let them pay monthly.

@Jamie461 Actually there is a good bit of evidence for this fraud - I have seen cleared checks, copies of money orders, etc. I understand your doubt however this is a pretty clear case of fraud that anyone that looks at the evidence agrees WAS fraud. The Ward family did what everyone in this situation did trus a man that was both a loan officer AND and realtor. All we ask is that Bank of America enter into good faith negotiation with them (the can AND want to pay) this is in BoA's interest

@Kabulee411 Look, I have watched friends lose their jobs and their homes. REAL hardship! It was hard, but they accepted that they borrowed money and couldn't make the payments anymore. Therefore, according to the legal documents they WILLINGLY signed, the bank foreclosed. There are lots of people in that boat. They have to pick up and start over and BE ACCOUNTABLE. None of the people I know asked for sympathy. You ask who should be accountable? The Wards need to look in the mirror.
