OS Foreclosure Action Team Emergency Motion (Lisa)

MOTION: Propose that OS approve the OS Foreclosure Action Team signing the following letter from OccupyModesto to AG Harris, urging a moratorium on foreclosures and evictions while she conducts investigations and amend procedures to fairly handle financial issues. OccupyModesto is asking other California Occupies to join in and approve the letter. Continued pressure on AG for a moratorium is a goal of the OS Foreclosure Action Team and signing this letter would apply more pressure and serve as an act of solidarity with other California Occupies working on foreclosure action. OccupyModesto needs the signature before the next GA scheduled for Saturday, February 4. Therefore the proposal must be considered as an emergency proposal today.
The letter reads as follows:
Kamala Harris – Attorney General of California
Attorney General’s Office
California State Department of Justice
Sacramento, CA 94244-2552
Honorable Attorney General Harris:
We have great appreciation of the announcement you made regarding the formation of the Mortgage Fraud Task Force to bring to justice those who committed mortgage fraud. It is your stated duty to conduct a fair and complete investigation into not only the misconduct in loan servicing and foreclosure practices, but also into the securitization of mortgages in California. We are hopeful that your investigation into mortgage fraud in California will result in both accountability and consequence against those who broke the law. It is also our hope that the consequences will go beyond the simple execution of fines and restrictions on the banks and finance institutions who knowingly committed fraudulent acts against our fellow citizens. We believe that incarceration is the only real and effective punishment that will send the correct message to these individuals.
As you stated in your press conference, Stockton is the number one city in America for foreclosures. Other cities in the Central Valley have also been hard hit by foreclosures that have severely impacted our families and communities. Given the disproportionate devastation here, we ask that any monetary settlements would reflect this fact.
Many fraudulent practices have been used against those who have fallen behind in mortgage payments, are in foreclosure, or who have lost their homes to foreclosure. You discussed acts committed by scammers who rented homes to unsuspecting persons by those who had absolutely no legal right to do so. There are obviously other types of fraud that are being perpetrated against Californians, some by lenders, brokers, and lawyers. We have the utmost disdain for these practices. Our communities have been devastated by those who are committing these fraudulent practices. We strongly urge that your office issue a moratorium on foreclosures and evictions until your investigations are complete and amended procedures are in effect to fairly handle financial issues.
We, the undersigned commend you for your efforts and will stand by you in those efforts to ensure justice is done for Californians affected by the economic disaster brought to our communities by these individuals and institutions.
