The 1% Are Still Stealing Our Homes

Laura Schlegel, a mother and active community member in Portage Park, Chicago, is facing eviction by the Cogsville Group, a private equity firm in New York City. The family is one of thousands of families now renting homes owned by massive private equity firms and hedge funds. Capitalizing on the foreclosure crisis, these Wall Street investors have purchased 200,000 homes across the country -- mostly in cities hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis.
Laura is struggling with chronic pain due to nerve damage and needs to be close to her doctors in Portage Park. She could be evicted any day, and she has nowhere for her, her son and her dogs to go.
Instead of putting them out on the street, the Cogsville Group should at least offer her and her family a new lease that allows them to stay in the home they previously owned.
Why this is important:
As the banks enjoy record-breaking profits and the 1% steal a bigger share of annual income than ever, the 99% have learned that this so-called economic recovery is nothing more than a big fat lie.
Tens of thousands of people are still being evicted each month through foreclosure, and now private equity firms and hedge funds are executing a massive land grab in cities across the country. In some cities, like Phoenix, there are already Wall Street-owned homes on every single block by the hedge fund Blackstone.
These Wall Street hedge funds and private equity firms are pretending to help by renting out these vacant houses -- but we know that they are just trying to make more money off the banks of the 99%. One of these private equity firms has even released a new risky security backed by rental payments -- which is just like the mortgage-backed securities that destroyed the economy in 2008.
The story of Laura and her family show how we must stop this land grab and demand that housing be enshrined as a human right, not a means to make a short-term profit.
Laura, her son and 3 small dogs have lived in their Portage Park home for the last seven years. With the help of a partner, she bought the home in 2006 for nearly $400,000. After the market crashed, they attempted to refinance the mortgage. Following the bank’s instructions, Laura and her partner missed three months of their mortgage payments to qualify for a loan modification. But instead of working with the family, Bank of America put the home in foreclosure, using the highly controversial process of “dual tracking” in which banks simultaneously put families in the process of modifying their loans and put the loan in the foreclosure pipeline.
In Laura’s case -- as with so many other homeowners across the country -- the foreclosure process won.
Her home was sold at an auction and bought back by the government-owned mortgage giant Fannie Mae -- which then allowed a private equity firm, The Cogsville Group, to buy the right to manage her house and collect rent from the family. But when her home flooded this past spring, the company did not help her with clean up, mold remediation or repairs.
In efforts to pressure Cogsville to assume responsibility for its property management, Laura’s partner stopped paying the rent. But instead of negotiating under the circumstances, the family received an eviction notice.
Laura and her family are asking that the eviction be dropped, and that the Cogsville Group offer Laura a new lease with an option to buy.
Help us stop Laura’s eviction -- and send a message to Wall Street that they can no longer exploit our human needs for their short term profits!
Sign this petition to demand that Laura and her family are allowed in their home.

Look at the date on that article. Just weeks after OWS took off. Imagine if they had done that instead of the bailouts?
The other reason for the foreclosure to rental conversion is to obliterate the paper trail of fraud regarding the transfer of title and deed billing over and over and over again among among service companies since the 90's.
Plus the interest rate deduction on these homes transfers to the fat cats as well as they convert home ownership to rentals and they will probably force renters insurance down the renters throats so they can then make wildly fraudulent rental damage claims whenever a renter moves.
I strongly believe that the home rental business is part of a multi-level attack that also involves unfair credit card rules that completely favor the banks and credit card companies. Credit card debt is possibly the biggest profit maker for wall street and the banks, even moreso than homes.
Although home rentals will probably soon fill another profit niche and probably outpace even credit card debt profits. A mortgage at 4% interest rate charge has a much smaller profit margin when compared to 2,000 dollar a month rent or interest rate charges on credit card debt.
The unending credit card debt cycle helps lower credit scores which in turn make home ownership less affordable.To rub it in the rest of the way, we have legions of conservative consumer advocates who blame anyone who has debt and defends the credit card companies and their anti family values to the hilt.
Did you know that according to conservative consumer advocates natural disasters are nothing more than "personal drama" and therefore in no way should people who lose their homes via a natural disaster be entitled to debt neutrality, which is simply the freezing of interest rate charges, penalties and fees on existing credit card debt.
I personally have found several ridiculous credit card rules in place that I hope to see overturned one day and hope to one day see the creation of actual debt suspension rights for consumers along the debt neutrality for those who suffer a life changing event beyond their control.
Yes, they are. And the localities that have signed agreements to auction off large amounts of property need to have the spotlight shown on them.
By insisting that housing should be enshrined as a right, the Article's Author(s) will loose. ("The story of Laura and her family show how we must stop this land grab and demand that housing be enshrined as a human right, not a means to make a short-term profit.") The Banksters in the US have been making "profit" this way not on a short-term basis but over the long, long 100 years since they politically forced their way into controlling the monetary system. But for this control, none of us would be in this frigging chaos, Laura and her family included. Demand justice instead by rising up against their monopoly on the monetary system.
Welcome to Pottersville .....every time a bell rings- a family was just evicted while a bankster just bought another Mercedes and probably some prostitutes
1% are still up to or are doing "a lot" of the same shit. Uneducated masses are still doing same old, same old.
Anybody think of applying some tort law, and putting forth a class action law suit against these folks?

What would also be ideal would be a wholesale boycott of Blackstone rental properties and their ilk.
simple - don't default on your debt obligation and you wont be foreclosed on what part of that is so hard to understand?
[Removed]
While this write up would lead you to believe only the rich stand to gain by foreclosing, the true answer is many people get hurt. This isn't a 1% vice 99% problem.
Who else gets hurt? Everyone who is invested in Blackstone. All those retirement funds, 401K's, IRAs, pension funds and other mutual funds and savings that were invested in Blackstone. Many people (retirees, workers, union pensions, etc.) are invested in Wall Street and banks. I don't envy Schlegel, but there are two sides to this story. Who should take the fall? People who invested their life savings to save for retirement or people who didn't adhere to their mortgage contract?
those that still have money have the leverage
counted in money scores
goods and services will be bought by those with money
...
someone still owns that property
Correct. Those that still have money have the leverage.
That would be Washington DC and the federal reserve and their fractional currency scheme. The government and the politicians are behind this whole mess with their arbitrary laws and policies.
Haven't you realized yet? The more Washington DC does, the worse things get? So why demand more laws and rules?
that would be the banks which create money by buying from the federal reserves
Banks create money out of thin air. That is what fractional banking is about. Sheer profit out of the blue at no cost to the banks.
The cost is to the general wealth held by the nation. We all pay for the bankers rampant profit.
But more than that they gamble and create derivatives further inflating and eventually crashing their capitalist system. Then we the 99% pay them out to start over again.
Don't get it wrong and follow the mind wash about smaller Govt..
WE NEED a strong govt directed by the 99% for the 99%.
To get that we have to crack the 1% rule and set in place a fairer redistribution of wealth and get rid of the corporate parasites.
YES PROFIT is a dirty word when it goes to parasites who play with money and create greater inequity while filling their pockets and produce nothing but misery for the 99%.
The banking system has to be state owned and only the state [ ie the 99% ] having the power to print money. That would lower taxes as Govt can use printed money to fund social programs such as health and education, research and job creation.
When private bankers [ including the Feds ] print money for their own selfish gains then you get a monster.
Abraham Lincoln and others fought the bankers. They lost. Have no sympathy for this parasitic scourge. They are the problem.
what if the 99% government won't hire me either ?
Redistibution of wealth and income must be a part of change.
The concentration of wealth is still increasing at the top and becoming less for the 99%. The bottom 50% get next to nothing.
GOP blocking redistribution of jobs or income to the unemployed is insane as is much of what they stand for.
The US has a rotten system, the greatest range of inequity, the highest proportion of it population in prison but the biggest thieves run free running the system - for themselves.
They are not going to give it up. it will have to be taken from them.
Any new system is liable to fall into the same traps so change has to be managed through education and strong guidelines with some immutable "truths"
Full employment has to be one or misery continues.
life doesn't care if one is employed
life cares about food, shelter and experience
Agreed.
Many starve around the world while others along side gorge themselves. Some people ignore this and others see it is wrong.
Which view is taken can depend on your position of how your mind works. There are people who have learned to be utterly focused on self and some who are unable to empathize with others because they are damaged - psychopaths.
Most people do feel for others and hate seeing others go without. Many share gladly when they have too much. Some will share when they don't have enough but will expect sharing to be two way. Working together helps survival.
Mankind is at at crossroads with 7 billion which is far too many for the planet to provide for long term. As a consequence the planets resources are being consumed, widespread pollution, loss of species, change of environment on a massive scale which will spell doom for mankind. Yet the greedy still ask for more. The 1% are the enemy of all life forms. A scourge
The US population have played a major part in fouling up the planet with consumerism and waste. The 1% have been the major culprits in developing a dangerous hegemony.
A fundamental shift in values and learning is about to happen one way or another.
Will humanity survive - who knows.
Dealing with this situation is discussed by Albert Einstein in 1949. Much off what he says is just as relevant today. One of the World greatest thinkers in living memory. A humble man.

Banks offer a loan.
The terms of that loan are specified before the loan is agreed upon.
Now, robosigning of foreclosures, and gambling with people's investments are another issue entirely.
Yes but an important part of banking puts a different light on that money " loaned". Banks are allowed to loan 90% of deposited money.
So they take the dollar deposited and loan 90% of that to their sister bank. The sister banks then loans 90% of that back to the original bank which in turn loans 90% of that back to the sister bank.... and so on.
Run that through your calculator and you will find that your dollar gives then a total of $10 for them to play with $9 of which is created out of thin air. Then the money is loaned out and returned with interest. Quite a racket.
So the money they foreclose on is money that cost them nothing. But the loans are mixed up with other transactions and sold as derivatives which are traded and gambled with.
The whole nonsense is protected by laws designed to cover the banks activity and yet penalize the lender who is paying ramped up prices inflated by bank activity for banker's profit.
If I lent you a dollar that cost me nothing and you lost it then I have also lost nothing.
But banks do much better than that when they foreclose as they usually have had payments including interest which cost them nothing also.
Banks consider they have a right to operate this way and that "right" was given to them by you the voter and taxpayer.
But the Bankers control the politicians. Money is power and corruption is endemic.
As long as bankers can "print " money then they can "buy" the rest.
A better system is needed
100% of loaned money must be original deposit. Only the Govt can issue new money.
The banks have abused their privileged position and power, and always do. Govts must stop them and take over their function . The wealth of the nation is owned by the 99 + 0.999%: not the 0.001%
Banks don't print their own money.
You are mistaken.
Fair enough. The actual printing of notes is now done by Treasury.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-19/when-banks-were-able-to-print-their-own-money-literally.html
When you write a check to pay a bill, pay online or use credit cards no notes are used. The transaction is simply a change of figures in accounts. Again no notes are needed. Enormous transfers of money are done daily without notes. The actual account balance figures are the significant indication to wealth or debt.
The term "Printing money" refers to the creation of an increase in "wealth" by the changing of figures in an account without a corresponding debit. In other words wealth creation on paper without cost. ie free money.
It goes on all the time in a simple loan with interest.
But banks loan out more money than what they have in deposits, so they create this money by paper entry and gather it in as repayments.
There is plenty of information sources about this unscrupulous practice which concentrated societies wealth into the hands of a few.
UK
http://www.positivemoney.org/how-money-works/proof-that-banks-create-money/
Canada
http://mindprod.com/money/moneycreation.html
Both of these countries are closely allied to the US but have state banks. The UK nationalized theirs in 1946.
The US Fed is privately owned in spite of the Govt appointees added to the board. So the creation of money by the feds feeds the families owning the Federal Reserve at our cost. That new money dilutes the value of our wealth.
The Feds admit "printing money" in the guise of Quantitative easing but hey do it all the time. The problem for the public is that so much hype and complexity surrounds the financial discussions that the public just operate on blind faith. Blind indeed. Robbed blind.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/afontevecchia/2013/07/17/bernanke-to-congress-we-are-printing-money-just-not-literally/
The Feds, brought into being by an act of congress with only 4 present late on Xmas eve 1913. No one was around to oppose it. A sneaky act after long debate in the days before opposing it. Check it if you are in doubt.
http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/10-things-that-every-american-should-know-about-the-federal-reserve
As one forum member says
"Anyone who thinks that "their" political party has the answers is brainwashed...both dems and republicans bow to wall street and facilitate, or at best turn a blind eye to, the financial abuse going on since its quid pro quo between Washington and Wall Street. People should wake up and think for themselves rather than letting forces like Fox news or CNBC do the thinking for them. Just look at the facts...the national debt and deficits have grown exponential for past 40 years regardless of political party in the white house."
The Feds are robbing America blind. A quote from the above website -
"The way our system works, whenever more money is created more debt is created as well.
For example, whenever the U.S. government wants to spend more money than it takes in (which happens constantly), it has to go ask the Federal Reserve for it. The federal government gives U.S. Treasury bonds to the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Reserve gives the U.S. government "Federal Reserve Notes" in return. Usually this is just done electronically.
So where does the Federal Reserve get the Federal Reserve Notes?
It just creates them out of thin air.
Wouldn't you like to be able to create money out of thin air?
Instead of issuing money directly, the U.S. government lets the Federal Reserve create it out of thin air and then the U.S. government borrows it.
Talk about stupid."
But then there is the ongoing interest to be paid by the Govt. The robbery of taxpayers continues.
When the Fed supplies money to the Govt by an electronic transaction into the Govt accounts held in private banks, then the private banks can create further money from this [ up to 9 times the deposit ] allowable by fractional reserve rules. This exta new money is profit for those private banks so it is loaned out to grow further.
Public funds paid very dearly then used to bloat the bankers even further and dilute our money even further. A continuing cycle.
We can never get ahead under this system of debt spiral. In 2011 the Govt paid 454 billion dollars in interest on this debt. It steadily sees growth being exponential.
North Dakota has a state bank and it is a GOP territory. One of the more stable financial institutions, has never been bailed out and provides many benefits directly to the people of the state. Wall St hate it.
It was never the intention of he founding fathers, nor the public since, that our money was created by debt to private bankers.
do you know Stephanie kelton - (c. 5:22) “So, let’s begin with the first lesson. What is money? All money exists as an IOU. It’s a debt. When we say, ‘I owe you,’ we mean two people are involved in every monetary relationship. The ‘I’ is the debtor. The ‘U’ is the creditor. I Owe You. IOUs are recorded in what we call the money of account. The money of account in Australia is the Australian dollar. The money of account in the U.S., the U.S. dollar. The money of account in Japan, the Japanese Yen. In Britain, the British pound. In Italy, the Euro. Do you see a difference? You will by the end of this talk.
(c. 6:21) “The money of account is something abstract, like a metre, a kilogram, a hectare. It’s not something you can touch or feel. It’s representational, something only a human could imagine. In any modern nation the money of account is chosen by the national government. MMT emphasises the state’s power over money. This is not something new. It dates back as far as Aristotle. You can find it in Adam Smith and in the work of John Maynard Keynes. I will read a brief quote from Keynes who said:
“‘The age of chartalist, or state money, was reached when the State claimed the right to declare what thing should answer as money of account. Today, all civilised money is, beyond the possibility of dispute, chartalist’—state money.
“A sovereign government defines the money of account. A sovereign government imposes taxes, fees, and other obligations to be paid to be paid to the state. A sovereign government decides what it will accept in payment to itself. And sovereign government chooses how it will make its own payments to others. Most governments in the world today choose their own unique money of account. And they issue their own unique currency. One nation, one money, is the rule in almost every corner of the world today. U.S. dollars, bills and coins. Mexican pesos, bills and coins. British pounds, notes and coins. Most governments also require that taxes be paid in a currency that the state has the exclusive power to issue. These currencies are sovereign money.
(c. 8:50) “As long as the state has the power to enforce its tax laws, the people will need the government’s money. The currency will have value. People will work to sell things—goods and services—to the government in order to get government money. Whatever the government accepts in payment to itself becomes the ultimate, ‘definitive,’ money in the economy. It is the only way to settle a debt. You must use government money. We can imagine in any economy a hierarchy of money. But not all money is created equal. The most acceptable money sits at the top of the pyramid. Those are the IOUs that everyone accepts and everyone must accept. Those are the IOUs that are ultimately needed to pay our debts. Those are the government’s IOUs. The rest of us can go in debt, issue IOUs, but our debt is not as good as government debt. It’s not as acceptable. It can’t be used to pay for things.
(c. 10:25) “In the U.S., the hierarchy looks like this: The government’s IOU—the United States dollar—sits at the top of the pyramid. It is a fiat currency. The United States government is the monopoly issuer of the U.S. dollar—the only entity on the planet that can legally create the currency. The U.S. government taxes in dollars. It spends in dollars. And it controls its own currency. Why is this important? What are the benefits of issuing your own currency? They are extraordinary.
(c. 11:19) “The government, when it issues its own currency, and goes into debt in that currency can always pay its debt, can never go broke, can never run out of money. It can afford anything that is for sale in that currency. It doesn’t need to borrow its own currency. And it can set its own interest rate. It does not have to pay what markets want. It does not become a victim to speculation, to bond vigilantes. It has additional policy space. It can do things for its economy and for its people that a government that does not have a sovereign currency cannot do.
(c. 12:18) “Think about what the hierarchy would look like under a gold standard. Many governments operated under gold or silver or both for some period of time in our world history. Under a gold standard, the government promises to convert its currency into gold. In that situation, what sits at the top of the pyramid is not the state’s currency, but the gold reserves. This means that the government must be careful about how much it spends. If it spends too much of its own currency, it can jeopardise the entire system because it may not be able to convert currency into gold as promised. You have to limit your spending and limit what you do with your policies. Governments operating under a gold standard do not have sovereign currency.
Yes the primer basically fits the theoretical USA scenario.
But the conditions as set down in (c.11:19) have been circumvented by the formation of the privately owned federal Reserve.
Now the Govt cannot ever pay its debts because it would need to borrow the money from the Feds to which it has the massive debt.
Nationalising the Fed looks to be the least disruptive way out. But then Wall St and the banking cartel would not allow this and they control the Govt not the voter.
The gold has gone into private hands some time ago during the reign of the Feds.
Fort Knox is empty according to many well regarded researchers. Other say the gold is leased out. Do your own research.
The Govt tells lies so look outside Govt statements.

That is not a credible situation.
you said it all right here - But then Wall St and the banking cartel would not allow this and they control the Govt not the voter.- so the solution is very obvious and the occupation in the park might have been the opening shot. take back control of the government - then who cares where the gold is. the government and the economy must be under democratic control - just as the populists argued in the late 1800's
Agreed.
And the people must control the state bank and money flow , not the private cartels.
Cut off their supply of power once and for all or any regained democracy will be lost in time.
Oh yes the do; every time they make a loan they leverage against deposit. That amounts to virtually printing money.
You refer to the profit margins inherent in the process of usury.
It's true that very little of our actual money is in the printed form.
However, banks do have to initially borrow from the reserve "bank", before the process of creating profit from usury. At a very low interest rate, I might add.
This begs the question; if it's truly that simple to create profit seemingly by magic, how the hell did they screw it all up so very badly?
My comment is that the greed knows no bounds and the creation of derivatives and hedge funds plus deregulation has allowed a ballooning of gambling and raising of stakes. The big boys behind banking secure their ill gotten gains in solid assets so when dips or crashes occur in the merry go round of financial speculation, then already the value has been extracted and stashed away. Every crash is then an opportunity manufactured to snap up more cheap fire sale assets. Or perhaps a bail out. Small players and the taxpayer loose out.

Just look at who owns the wealth and you will see that the top group of parasites just keep piling up a bigger slice of the cake annually.
Remember they only have to borrow $1 to make up to $9 plus interest on the lot.

Its a racket. Banks bleed the country without producing anything, growing any food nor providing any services except filling their own pockets as they lessen the worth of money in circulation with the inflation they cause.
As massive amounts of money are created by private banks for their own profit, then to shift this function to the Govt and so fill the Govt coffers for public good, is a simple answer.
No more Govt debt as no borrowing would be needed. Govt could actually fund many schemes and set up state banks like North Dakota has . All profits go back to the community. Taxes could be lowered, universal health schemes funded and a universal superannuation scheme.
There is nothing magic about all this . it is just that the public are kept ignorant and afraid to challenge the Bankers and Wall St thugs. Bankers have ample money to bribe and corrupt officials. politicians and fund political parties. They also control the media as has been pointed out. You get your little dose of Fox each day to keep you stupid.
Money bred power and corruption on a massive scale. The Govt is controlled.
http://www.alecexposed.org/wiki/What_is_ALEC%3F
Actually, I'm not referring to that profit gained by usury. What I'm referring to is that banks are allowed to loan out more money than they have! They only need to keep a small portion of real money on their balance sheet for collateral just in case something goes wrong. So, in a very real sense the banks are creating money out of nothing. Amazing, but true.
The answer to your question is very simple. The banks can't get enough. They get greedy and loan out way way more than they can cover. They loan out money to people who should not be borrowing money in the first place. They make the assumption nobody is going to default, but when somebody does that is when the trouble starts.
Low-doc loans were reportedly forced upon people who didn't need them in the first instance, primarily because they netted a higher interest rate. These riskier loans were packaged up, and given tripleA ratings by agencies like Standard and Poor, and onsold to various financial institutions and hedge funds, with the intention of crippling those funds, readying them for corporate piracy.
Then there's the issue of illegal robo-signing on mortgages that were not in default, to speed up the process of crashing the economy, and forcing the govt into a position of bailouts, and fleecing the public purse.
This is all rather well documented in the film "Inside Job", narrated by Matt Damon.
Here's the link, if you'd like to watch it. http://vimeo.com/20853241
Yep; banksters indeed.
Hence a "run on the banks"..
Yep; And the real losers are not so much the folk who probably should have never gotten a mortgage who are getting defaulted on (not that I am to judge), but all us people who held regular jobs all our lives, lived frugal, and responsibly saved our money which because of these bank antics are now getting our life savings devalued into nothing.
The banksters escaped with a bonus.
They're getting ready to do it again.
Theres a new saying for bonds and most people's retirements-
"A Return Free Risk"
Bankers are using our money for UFO research.
I suppose I ought buy stock in Roswell? He, He.
Incorrect. Banks invest money in many ventures.
The problems arose when our investments, which are guaranteed by the govt using our tax dollars, were allowed to be used in risky ventures that eventually failed.
Reinstate Glass-Stegal.
Did you know 25% of our taxes go straight to Area 51?
Do you have a link to that that's NOT a YouTube clip?
No. I don't. You will find information if you search for Plum Island. I don't keep bookmarks in case I am searched.
Technically keeping bookmarks is moot since all your web searches (and this conversation, btw) are included in your NSA file.
I only use public machines from libraries.
That won't help you. You need your library card for access.
You can't hide, rev. Don't look now but they're watching you at this very minute. ;-)
No card is needed. Public computers.
Have you heard of Bilderberg?
"No card is needed. Public computers.
Have you heard of Bilderberg?"
Interesting. Around here you have to show your library card to access their computers, I think.
And by "Bilderberg" I assume you mean the annual behind-closed-doors, no press allowed meeting of the world's elite. Yes, we have. And by "we" I mean the forum members. It's been discussed occasionally although some forum members eschew such topics. But, fuck them.
Sounds like you know some important info. Bilderberg is a diversion. The elites of the elites (EOTE) are another group that are truly secretive. We don't know who they are and when they meet. I heard they are part of The Knights of the Templar. I'm still researching it.
Must be a huge pile of cash mounding up there.
Perhaps there's some ulterior motives you want to discuss?
Have you heard of the connection between Plum Island and area 51?
No, but can you explain the relevance between that and bank foreclosures?
US is thinking long term. They need lots of money to research alien technology at area 51 and Plum Island. Monsanto is already using some alien technology. They don't mind putting the country into debt because these technologies will make US rich in a few years.
Brilliant. So you're suggesting that US bonds will be a worthwhile investment?
Best slip this info to the Chinese, because they've all but shed their load of US bonds.
There will be no ROI. These technologies will give full world control to the elites of elites. They won't need to pay back investors. They will enslave them.
