I wanted to share this story of Jacqueline Barber with you. Our Allies at the Home Defenders League and Occupy Homes asked us to get involved to stop the imminent eviction of a very sick woman and her family. Your action could help tip the balance.
People like Jacqueline Barber are the reason we are taking the fight to Washington for the May 18- 23 Week of Action to end “Too Big to Jail”. We just can’t allow heartbreaking stories like this to continue.
Here’s the story. – Brian K.
Dear Carmen,
20-year Atlanta Police Department veteran. Grandmother of four. Car crash survivor. Bone cancer patient. Foreclosure fraud victim. Jacqueline Barber is all those things, but most importantly, she’s a fighter. And right now she’s fighting for her home.
Jacqueline Barber spent 20 years on the Atlanta police force, only retiring when injured by a car in the line of duty. In 2009, the predatory loan on her house caused her payment to go up $1500. Then she was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer and had to undergo aggressive treatment to save her life. She fought back against the disease, and spent months filling out forms and asking for modifications to her mortgage. When her loan was sold to Ally Bank and its servicer GMAC, she started the fight again, and was close to victory when nearly 21,000 supporters signed a petition to Ally to finalize their negotiations and end Jacqueline’s eviction.
We thought we’d be writing you soon with good news, since the banks and servicers (including GMAC) had started what we thought were good faith negotiations as a result of your actions.
Then the unthinkable happened: Ally admitted to Jacqueline her loan was now in control of A DIFFERENT company. 

Yesterday Jacqueline Barber got a call from Ocwen, a financial institute she’s never heard of, informing her that she had 2 days to vacate her home. She had just gotten out of the hospital after having a procedure done on her back, leaving her walker bound when not bed ridden. The news from Ocwen was not the news a cancer patient fighting their second bout of multiple myeloma would want to hear.

Jacqueline Barber found out that her mortgage has transferred from GMAC to Ocwen Financial Services, and Ocwen is refusing to honor any of the deals arranged with GMAC over the last 6 months.

Call Ocwen CEO Ronald Faris at 561-682-8560 and tell him to make a deal that Jacqueline can afford, or have her blood on his hands. (sample script below). To make sure he gets the message, also send him an email at ronald.faris@ocwen.com

Ocwen Financial services is a company notorious for shipping jobs overseas, creating tax havens in the Virgin Islands, and defrauding customers. The stress of an eviction would not only leave Jacqueline, her daughter, and four grandchildren homeless, it would also serve to accelerate her cancer.

Call and email Ocwen CEO Ronald Faris at 561-682-8560 and ronald.faris@ocwen.com and tell him to make a deal that Jacqueline and her family can afford, or have her blood on his hands. (sample script below)

Script: “Hi, my name is _________ and I’m calling on behalf of Jacquline Barber at 160 Stearman Road in Fayetteville, GA 30214. I understand that Ocwen aquired GMAC in February and will not honor the negotiations that have kept Jacqueline and her family in her home to this point as she undergoes chemotherapy. I demand that you offer Jacqueline and her family a deal they can afford to keep them in their home, and relieve Jacqueline of the stress of eviction while she bravely fights bone cancer.

Jacqueline worked hard in her professional life to keep people safe through her work as a police detective. She was even injured on the job. Now, facing a recurrence of bone cancer and an eviction foreclosure, she’s on the verge of having her home stolen by the same bankers who destroyed our economy, put 16 million homeowners underwater and 7 million families into the foreclosure process.

Please make the call. You can report what happened on the call by clicking here and leaving a comment on the blog post.
Also please take a moment to sign our petition in support of Jacqueline’s fight.
In solidarity,
